Going cheese

Definition

In hockey, scoring a goal by firing the puck into the top corner of the net with such precision and speed that the goalie never saw it coming. The 'cheese' refers to easy targets, which technically isn't where this shot goes, but hockey players have always had loose relationships with logic.

Example Usage

That winger went high-glove cheese on the breakaway—nothing the goalie could do.
