what does the makings mean on a air hockey table mean?

The center line on an air hockey table is usually the spot where you can't handle the puck.  Blue lines and goalie crease are only there to make the surface look more like a hockey rink. So it basically is just telling you that this table is an air hockey table.

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.

Herb Brooks - Believe he coached or played ice hockey, maybe both.  Don't know the context but there is a film called 'Miracle' released in 2004 which has him saying this. \nHope this is some help.

When a goal is scored against an opposing team, the home team will chant "Sieve."  A sieve is a colander or strainer, or something that easily lets things through it (like a bad goalie!)\n\nAmerican College Hockey is primarily where this tradition started.  For example, the Minnesota Golden Gopher mascot, Goldy Gopher, used to be able to simply point at the opposing netminder, getting the entire crowd to chant "Sieve" at his whim.

Hockey is a cover up for Honkey. Its is a White sport, hence NBA stands for Nothing But Africans, and NFL is for Negros For Life and MLB is for Majority Latin Baseball. So it makes sense that the NHL is National Honkey league!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with the goals scored when the player is on the ice.  If their team scores a goal, it counts as a plus and if the other team scores a goal while they are on the ice, it's a minus.  I'm pretty sure that's what it means.\nHope that helped.

It means it is not a competitive match with league points or progression in the next round of a Cup competition.  All they are playing for is pride!

They get the ice ready and the arena ready. Not very much. They clean the ice, get the Zambonis ready. Basically prepare for the game. It isn't a very exciting time.

Never heard of it and I've been playing all my life.  If your referring to the "Flying V" from the Mighty Ducks movies, that is more of a gimmick they made for the movie to be remembered by.  I've never actually seen it done, and I can't imagine it being effective or how you would get the free time to arrange your players without a forecheck.

-Shot on goal\nWhen the puck is shot between the posts and under the cross bar.  Basically if the goalie wasn't there, the shot would go in.\n\n-Scoring chance\nThis is not an officially kept stat like goals and penalties.  These are tallied by the broadcaster.  A scoring chance includes: breakaway, odd man rush, penalty shot, empty net shot, etc....  It does depend, also, on who is tracking the stat.  This person may also consider a pass through the crease to an open winger who takes a one-timer to be a scoring chance.

That guy had a complicated answer. Here's what it means simply:\n\nYou are three holes up on your oponent with two holes left to play. \n\nTherefore the match is over because you are winning by more holes than there are remaining, therefore the final score is 3 and 2.

The flags on the ice are simply a computer graphic for the viewers.  It is similar to the graphics used by the NFL to show where the first down mark is.
