    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

    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.

    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.

  • Kyle Clay commented  ·   ·  Report

    You already track it... each players ATOI can be viewed in the player pool. It's a great stat category to have to add value to good players, especially good D-men. Considering moving my league to ESPN because I know they have it.

  • Randall commented  ·   ·  Report

    This seems so pointless. How is this the 2nd ranked topic?!!

  • Colin Gutcher commented  ·   ·  Report

    The big one I am getting at is a composite goalie wins category (W + OTL) have 2 points for a win, and 1 point for a overtime loss or shootout loss. Its so frustrating watching your goalie go the distance only to lose in a 6 round shootout.

    Other stats which would be nice: goalie scoring stats contributing to the regular scoring categories, Defensive scoring bonus, even strength stats (G/A/P/Shutouts/etc.), primary assists (or a composite cat).

  • Brandon Eid commented  ·   ·  Report

    options should be customizable for scoring, but changes can only be made pre-draft. no scoring changes after draft, because it is not fair for everyone who joined and read the rules aka scoring system before joining your league

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Would love to have the option for fractional points for field goals!

  • DubbleC commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hi, I would also like to see face-off percentage as a category or face-off plus/minus. Thank you.

  • DubbleC commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hi, I would also like to have shootout goals as a separate category. Thank you.

  • Steven Witczak commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add FO = FW - FL as a scoring category in head-to-head leagues. This is an important statistic, as it indicates how many net possessions a player gains for his team on faceoffs.

    Using only FW as a scoring category is insufficient, as it tells only half the story. Likewise, using faceoff win percentage as a scoring category is not ideal, since it is skewed by non-centers who may take only one or two faceoffs per game.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Been a year since this was suggested and we still only have basic scoring options. This should be totally customizable.

  • Claude Phillips commented  ·   ·  Report

    What is the purpose of having a player in the penalty box creating positive stats, when he is making his team play short handed?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Combine them as a category. You're the only platform left without this option.

  • Matt commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love the ability to change the scoring setup for different positions.
