    Add a penalty plus/minus. They already track who takes/draws any given penalty. Then give the commissioners a choice for league scoring between: 1) Most PIMs 2) Least PIMs 3) Best PIM +/-

  • B B commented  ·   ·  Report

    You can. you set scoring to 'lowest amount wins' upon creation of the league. I believe this option is available for every category if my memory serves me correctly.

    Goalie SOG, PPP, G, A and SHP will be meaningful about a dozen times a season across the entire NHL. Pretending they are factors you could use to pick a team is just plain stupid.

    It would be as logical to add scoring stats for goalies as to add a Shut Out and Save category for forwards. There would never be a SO and every month or so a skater would get credit for an actual save.

    And just as it happens in football when a WR makes a tackle he gets credit for it so there is no need to make it an official category for goalies. If a goalies scores a goal is goes on the board just like when a receiver tips a ball into a defenders hands and then tackles him he gets credit for a tackle.

    Like the idea, adds yet another dimension to follow. If it is a "horrible idea" don't add the position to your league scoring.

  • Paul commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please Yahoo!, make this happen! Make every yard count for something!

  • Daniel Maduro commented  ·   ·  Report

    Its a great idea. It does not need to be a mandatory position, this way the traditionalists won't need to incorporate it.

  • Bailey commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a must have category in many private leagues...would replace face off lost by fw % really surprised this is not available already.

  • J Mosier commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. Making PIM a positive stat appears to be more hockey tradition than anything logical. Coming from a baseball and football fantasy background, this is equivalent to giving fantasy points to a D/ST for each penalty yard it accrues.

  • joe commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bad idea. If this does go through I want saves for forwards and D-men when they make a save in the crease.

  • Jax Kearney commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you're using anything smaller than .5 you're not playing real Fantasy Football...grow a pair...

  • J commented  ·   ·  Report

    PIM's can hurt or help a team so I think if anything the option to make it negative would be best. I'm assuming the people who want fighting out of the game are the ones voting to change this? A fight can motivate your team more than anything and certain penalties are considered "good" penalties to take away scoring chances and whatnot so I think it can easily go both ways.

  • James Grantham commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree to an extent. I like the 10 categories. Maybe, if goalies were not limited to just their four stats. Instead of having each player limited to 6 or 4 stats, have your team accumulate all 10 stats (if applicaple. Skaters don't get wins, SO, SV%, GAA). I would be upset if i came 1 assist short for the week's matchup and my goalie had one and it didn't count.

  • Ryan Leung commented  ·   ·  Report

    I totally agree with this. And also they should give goalies Overtime Loss Points.

  • Andrew Johnson commented  ·   ·  Report

    this STILL says gathering feedback...LOL...just FIX IT!!! give the CHOICE of making the points fractional or keeping it the way it is!!!! what feedback needs to be gathered?!?!?!?!?!?! dont listen to the idiots that think there should be a minimum score!!!!!! if its an easier kick, THEN IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE FOR THE KICKER TO GET LESS POINTS FOR IT!!!!! there are ONLY a HANDFUL of FGs shorter than 30 yards per kicker each season anyway!!!! WAKE UP GUYS!!!!!!!!!

  • Connor McDivitt commented  ·   ·  Report

    A game winning goal has been a stat that has been kept throughout the history of hockey. I can agree with gaining an extra point if the game winning goal was obtained in overtime, however I don't agree with your statement that the actual goal that won the game (the third goal scored in a 6-2 win) is something a player shouldn't get credit for

  • Ze Renato commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why not make it available as an option? Up to any commish to decide whether they use it or not, eh?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a great idea. Anything past 30 should be worth it's yardage value. It's silly that a 39 yard field goal misses out on an entire point just because it fell one yard short. It's like telling a running back that he is only credited with a 10 yard rushing TD run even though he ran it from the 19 yardline. Kickers are fantasy players too.

  • Brian Palcko commented  ·   ·  Report

    Terrible idea. Should players get credit for saves too when they lie down in front of the net? Assists and PIM's aren't on the goalie stat page so obviously they're rare and not worth keeping track of.
