    Add the ability to select punters. Could be as simple as points for pinned in the 20, pinned in the 10, pinned in the 5, net yards. This would be a nice dynamic, that some may not want, but would be a nice option for some.

    You can always create your own custom categories and weight them as you see fit.

    Goals are goals and assists are assists on the ice regardless of who gets them, they should absolutely count in fantasy for all positions. I would have won my Week 1 if Rask's 2 assists were counted. Please change.

    p.s. to all those who say that forwards/deferencemen should get points for saves, if goalies start getting points for G/A/PIM/SOG/PPP/GWG, newsflash: they already do - it's called blocked shots

  • Ed Lorenzen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed it rarely happens but goalie assits and goals and PIMs should be able to be added to team totals

  • Jace Knight commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add GP when users are looking at their players under the "My Team" tab. It will be a lot easier to see who to bench or start. Thanks!

  • Jesse Bosma commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add GP (games played) to the stats strickley for viewing purposes

    Last night Tukka Rask had 2 assists, (4 point in our scoring) and in a close race could be decided by 4 points. I don't believe that PIMs have a lot of value for goalies but it would be nice if when a goalie gets an assist or a goal (even though they are very rare) to collect points for that. When setting up a league it would be nice to have the option to allow these points. If one league doesn't want to allow this they don't need to have them but for us who do it is a nice option. I also play in a fantasy football league and I feel like this is like not allowing a WR to get passing yards. It is rare but if you had Pryor or Edelman on your team and they ran a trick play or something and they completed a pass you'd be choked if you didn't/couldn't get they points.

    I don't understand the desire for this proposal... a GWG is a GWG whether it's in OT or not isn't it?
    To say it's "Truer" than scoring with say less than a second in regulation isn't right. And how is it more "clutch" when it's down to 3 on 3?
    While I'm all for having options there are better improvements to be made

  • Peter commented  ·   ·  Report

    Overtime goals and Shootout goals are two of the worst categories you can ask for.

  • Lanso Gonso commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can you please add OT Loss to Goalies? My pool uses this stat to award points

  • Christopher Coyne commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add a scoring category for a hat trick so you can give bonus points for it. Yahoo needs more scoring categories like ESPN

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    At least give us the option to run it as a negative stat.

  • Tate commented  ·   ·  Report

    I suppose there is no chance of getting this implemented prior to October 12? Guess it's another year in ESPN...

  • Tate commented  ·   ·  Report

    100% correct. I use Yahoo for every other league, but have to keep our hockey league in ESPN because they won't add ATOI which is already being tracked. Infuriating!

  • Travis Ricker commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm not crazy about adding punters, although it would be an interesting spin. However, I wouldn't mind adding some of these stats to a DEF/ST points. For instance, punts downed inside the 20,10,5 like the others have said, but adding it to the defense/special team points.

  • Eric Bernacki commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes! This is a great idea!

    NFL already keeps punter stats, so this should be easy for Yahoo to add.

    Stats could be as follows:
    Number of punts
    Gross Punt Yardage
    Touchbacks
    Inside 20
    Total Punt Return Yards

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add Overtime Goals as a statistic option. It is a stat that is tracked by the NHL - results for last season can be viewed here:

    http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?reportType=season&report=skatersummary&season=20152016&gameType=2&sort=otGoals&aggregate=0&pos=S

    OT Goals are the truest form of a game winning goal, and is the ultimate exemplification of a "clutch" player.

  • Booya Grandma commented  ·   ·  Report

    If short handed points "should" be worth more, then logically shouldn't powerplay points be worth less?

    They've combined them into a category called "Points"

  • Daniel Horsman commented  ·   ·  Report

    My league argues whether or not Short Handed Points are worth an entire category, yet they should be worth more than 5v5 points. By combining PPP and SHP into one category we could find some middle ground on this issue, and the stat would be easy to create on Yahoo's end.
