    I think I know a half-dozen girls named Emma, all born in the last few years. And an Emma Grace!

    Not to threadjack, but have you ever met/heard of a white person with the last name Jefferson other than Thomas?

    My little sister was pregnant last year and she considered pretty much every combination of Sophia, Grace and Emma. When she lost the baby, she went with Gabrielle Grace because she wanted to save Sophia.

    Hockey being hockey, I understand the need for the retaliation.
    But when you watch the replay of the hit on Draper, Lemieux was clearly not trying to injure the guy, let alone catastrophically injure the guy.
    None the less, it was a cheap shot that required some form of retribution, so the McCarty attack is understandable.

    I still like Claude Lemieux.

    Along those lines, one of the great early football players in Alabama history, Hoyt Winslett, was called "Wu" his whole life because he had slanted eyes. He became semi-famous in the early 1990s as the Crimson Tide's oldest living All-American and once said to a roomful of reporters, "I don't know why they didn't just call me 'Chink.'"
