Niklas Kronwall's goals against average will make or break the week for just as many teams.

Topic title says it all. Goalie assists have to count in scoring. Something like Jimmy Howard's shorthanded assist is a difference maker in category pools.

Can you please fix the goalie goals against point system. Right now goalies are being rewarded more points for letting in more goals....Example, Rangers lose 10-1 and Lundqvist is in net, he let in 10 goals therefore he received 10 pts for the night. The opposing goalie let in 1 goal and he gets 1 point. Doesnt make sense at all, please fix asap!

Add a category for hat tricks.

@Am: Don't you mean "Kicking team free kick recovery" instead of "Onside kick recovery"? After all, it should not matter whether the kick is short (your typical onside kick) or deep into the endzone as long as the receiving team never possessed the ball prior to the kicking team gaining possession.

@Yahoo please add ATOI as a category. At this point it looks like pure stubborness. Don't be made because ESPN did it first. Eat the humble pie and make your website better for your customers...

Hat tricks should be a scoring category. so should OT goals as well.

Add 60+ yard field goals as a separate scoring category. 60+ is certainly deserving of more points than a 50 yard field goal. why does field goal points stop at 50+ when 60+ yard field goals are possible and quite an elite achievement by a kicker

Please add more goalie category such as "Shootout / OT losses"! I did an ESPN league last year and there were so many more categories. I've ran my fantasy hockey league on yahoo for a decade now, the addition of a few more categories before draft season would make the experience on yahoo the best there is !

So I guess the team determined to *not* add new categories?

Another Util category which sounds more fair and important than +/-.

I'd really just like to see the ability to customize positional scoring (most specifically because my league just passed TE premium PPR) and I don't want to leave the Yahoo platform just because of this one little rule change.

A "dropped pass" is very different from a lost fumble.
A dropped pass results only in a loss of down.
A lost fumble results in a loss of POSSESSION.

I would love to have (many) more options for Kicker scoring. Certainly, fractional points for yards. Each commissioner can choose which options seem logical.
I see ideas for combining Kicker into Defense Special Teams. I am absolutely against that, and for the opposite. I want as much separation as possible of Defense from special teams. I use no special teams categories in my current DEF scoring. I would love to have a separate position for Special Teams. Special teams position could have scoring categories for kicker, punter, and returns. -

My thoughts:
1. In reality, each touchback is worth zero points (the NFL Rule Book actually lists the touchback in its scoring section along with the touchdown, the field goal, the safety, and tries). Alternatively, I am in favor in one point for each successful rouge, eh?!
2. So ... if the opening drive of the games results in a field goal and there's no more scoring throughout the rest of the game, you want to count that field goal double??? (Hint: NO)
3. Simple solution: Make your league an IDP league and award point(s) for tackles made. Any tackles made by the kicker will be credited as miscellaneous points (those ordinarily earned by players in another position such as an individual defensive player) and will be indicated by an asterisk*.
4. Change "Onside Kick Successful" to "Successful Free Kick Recovery by Kicking Team" and make it a DEF/ST category. If any point(s) are going to be awarded (perhaps half the value of a fumble recovery, but never more than the full value of such), it should make absolutely no difference as to whether the kick is short (such as an onside kick) or deep into the endzone (recovered there by the kicking team for a touchdown, something which can and HAS HAPPENED in the NFL). The only stipulation it that the ball must never have been possessed by the receiving team; otherwise it becomes a fumble recovery by definition.

OT = OT and/or S/O Losses
PIM = Penalty Minutes
TOI = Time On Ice
G = Goals
