The latest catch-phrase

[RichH]

From the Clarkson-Union game 1 recap:

[Q]"They had a lot more jam than we did," Union coach Nate Leaman said. "They wanted the puck a little bit more than us. We talked all week that this series was going to be won around the net. I know that all eight of their goals were from right around the paint." [/Q]
So, is this "jam" thing a hep, new phrase for hockey coaches, or is it just a coincidence that Leaman used the same vague metaphor that Mazz the Rat did in December?   ::screwy::

[Ack]

So Sucks and Onion could get together and jam in the off-season?

They can keep their jam; I'll take my peanut butter anyday.  And as we all know, peanut butter is better on the top bread slice of the sandwich. :-P

And it sticks to the roof of the standings!

"You're just Smuckers!  Clap clap...Clap clap clap!"

[Will]

Jeff, that's a better use of the metaphor, much better than what I could come up with at 4:30AM. :-)

Not to rain on your parades, "jam" is not a new phrase.  Maybe it's new around college hockey, but I've heard the term used around NHL teams for years.

[Will]

Eh, I say we continue to use the peanut butter metaphor for ourselves anyway. :-P
