He is thoughtful and cerebral to an extreme point. He's the type of guy that when interviewing you have to be careful with your words because he is going to thoroughly parse your words and cogitate before rendering a response. If you are looking for a post-game robotic cliche riddled comments at the podium, you don't want him to be standing at the podium. He's a unique and thoughtful fellow. If you are in a hurry he will drive you crazy. Cogitate. Nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one English teacher yelling at me: Don't tell me what you think it says, tell me what the words on the page say. Then he preceded to beat with a thick stick to imprint the point on my stupid arse! That is corporal punishment in the pursuit of edification. 🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until someone eliminates Northeastern, I'm not making plans for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmoe Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not sure if it's been posted but Levi's .934 save% currently leads the NCAA by .002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneParade Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Saw the beginning of the UMass game Friday night. The first goal Levi 'gave up' was on a 2-on-1 clean breakaway seemingly from the opposite blue line. And the '1' on that 2 on 1 was completely worthless, not impacting either onrushing player. Clean cross ice pass and a gimme into the open net. Didn't see the other two. NU gives up a LOT of shots. They're pretty bad in front of Levi.

The solution to that particular form of corporal punishment would be to shave one's head.

There were more than a few who believed in corporal punishment. I'm not sure how many priests are teaching in the classroom today. Sad to say that there were some recent ugly accusations about some of them. The Lord will be the ultimate judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the accusations concern where we went to school--at least none that I have seen. I'm going to send you a PM with a guess as to the teacher, though.

I wouldn't dare. My father who immigrated from Italy was stern about education and respecting teachers. In grammar school he would regularly go to meet with the teachers and tell them to hit me. When they asked him why because I was a good student and behaved. His response was that you haven't caught him yet, so whack him just in case. 👨🎓 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what the old school discipline did is to toughen you up and make you handle criticism (fair and not) better so that it wouldn't emotionally affect you . Trust me, I got the scars to prove it. Tough love can at times be tough for the recipient. 😬 6 minutes ago, MBD said: Have the beatings continued into adulthood? No. I run a lot faster. Avoidance is a solution to the stick.
