Hockey Momentum

In the NHL and in many different sports, many players, coaches, and broadcasters often talk about the momentum of a team after they do something good, and thus are expected to have some new found abilities to do better than they had before. This hypothetical momentum is shown often in hockey when one team does something such as scoring a goal, killing off a penalty, or winning a fight. However, the formula for momentum in physics is that momentum is equal to mass times velocity, so perhaps we can find a way in which this hypothetical momentum could be found. Perhaps, we could say that when doing something the team "gets big" as many people exclaim when someone does something good, and therefore will increase their mass and thus increase their momentum. Or, possibly in hockey when a team scores a goal, the players will feel more motivated and therefore they will start to move faster and with more energy, which will increase their velocity once again increasing the momentum as well.
