what does plus/minus mean in hockey?

+/- is easy.\n\nIf you're on the ice when your team scores, you get a +1\n\nIf you're on the ice when the other team scores, you get a -1\n\nThe only EXCEPTION is if you or the other team has a power play, in which no one gets + or -.

You might consider doing it similar to how the NHL does - Award 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. Or whatever numbers you choose to use. In this way if a team that is 32-0 would have 64 points, but a team that is 31-0-1 would only have 63 points and a team that is 31-1 would only have 62. The only glitch would be a 32-0 team would have 64 points, but a 31-0-2 team would also have 64 points. That's why you may consider a 3 point for a win instead of 2, since it would be rather rare to have that many ties. \n\nIt also depends on the total number of games played for each team. You could also do a winning percentage, where you take the wins and divide it by the total number of games played, where ties do not equal wins.

A$$hole.\n\nSeriously - assistant captain.  The "C" is the captain.  Any player can be a captain or assistant captain except the goalie.

It's not an official stat anymore.  There will be a stats geek somewhere that keeps it though, Try the hockey news they are usually good at keeping things like that.

Except for the goalies, if you're on the ice for an equal strength goal, you get a plus, if it's a goal against, you get a minus.\n\nShort handed and power play goals don't figure into this stat.

I have seen several answers of a team with a one man advantage.  This is not entirely correct.  A power play does result when one team is penalized and the opposing team has more skaters on the ice, but it is possible to have a 5 on 3 situation and so on, which definitely shoots down the one man advantage answers.

a shot is when the puck is simply on net.\na scoring chance is when the goalie has to work to make the save, preventing what would have been a goal if the goalie hadnt made the save. scoring chances can also be when the puck barely misses the net, but would have gone in if it were on net or when the puck hits the post

if the team is a (+) like cleveland that means they are the under dogs and the (-) means they are the favorite.  You can pretty much pick that out by looking at the records.  Majority of the time the team with the best record will be the favorite.  The 183 is the over/under for the TOTAL score of the 2 teams.  By simply adding the score for both teams.  If you choose under 183 and the score is 100-82 than you would win.  The -110 is what you would recieve off a bet.  Its complicated. For instance, on a $100 bet if you win on a -110 you will recieve 90 off that $100 bet.  If it was a +110 you would recieve $110.  Just like the (-) means the favorite team it also mean the same on bets meaning its the favor bet so your not going to win as much as a (+) bet or underdog bet.  Another example, in hockey you have lot of +200, +150 ect.  That just tells you what you will recieve on a $100 bet.  Out of a $100 bet and you win on a +200 odds.  You will recieve $200 dollars on top of the $100 you get back for better for total of $300.

Basic subtraction. Ok, you are taking stuff away from what you have, so...\n\n(-3)-3 you have -3 take away three, counting down that is -6. Or you can think of it as the two -s forming a +. \n\n Ok if you have the problem...(-5)-(+3)= change the subtraction sign to + and the 3 to the oppisite in this case -3\n\nExaples\n1. (-8)-+3=   -8+-3 now it is a adding problem = -11

You need two numbers for the calculation - the number of minutes a goalie has played, and the number of goals they've allowed.  From there, you use this formula:\n\nGA (goals against) / Minutes played * 60\n\nThe "60" is used as the multiplier, because that's the number of minutes used in a "full" game.\n\nUsing Hasek as an example this year, the calculation would be:\n\n23 (goals he's allowed) / 782 (minutes he's played) * 60\n\nThat gives you 1.764, which is rounded to 1.76, the top average in the league.

u would usually see that in scoreline..\n\nif the score has something written like this: a.e.t (2:0)(1:0)\na.e.t. means after extra time..the first parenthesis are the final score after extra time and the second parentheses are the half time score of the extra time..\n\nand if the score is like this: a.e.t. (1:1)(0:0) 4:2 PSO\nthat means the score was 1:1 after extra time, the (0:0) indicates the score at half time of the extra time which tells us that none of the teams has scored at half time of the extra time and the 4:2 is the score for the penalty shootout..\n\nthis is all u need to know about scoreline i think..

No. That information is given to the on-ice Officials before the game by the coaches and is for use only by the League. HOWEVER... if the submitted starting lineup doesn't match the players actually starting the game... a delay-of-game penalty is called against the offending team. There is an off-ice official in the press box who's job it is to keep track of the players on the ice at all times! Which is how players plus/minus stats are tracked.

When a player is on the ice, they record the number of goals for and against his team. If his team scores more than they are scored against while he is on the ice, he has a postive number.

An offside is when a player crosses the blue line before the puck and the whistle is blown and a face off is taken just out side the blue line at one of the dots.\n\n__________________________blue line\n           \n------------------O--------------------- red line \n__________________________\nA penalty  is any illegal action usually physical hit to the head tripping etc. or bad sportsmanship the player is sent to the box for a period of time accordingly, 2, 5,10 minutes or the rest of the game or multiple games.
