    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!!!!!!!!!

    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

    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.

  • Booya Grandma commented  ·   ·  Report

    Great question!!! I was also wondering why Goligoski didn't get credit for Dallas' win and shutout, because he was on my roster for the night so why would I not get any points he accumulates?

    Go to scoring & settings, scroll to the bottom where it reads "Goaltenders Stat Categories." Are assists listed among the categories that count for goalies? No.

    That's why it didn't count, moron.

    I like it, could do Gordie Howe Hat tricks too. Enough of them happen each year that a league could decide to add a bonus for it. Already happens for shut-outs.

    I disagree with the premise. Goalies can score Gs As etc, but they rarely do and there's so much variance in it. Kickers can score TDs and 2pt conversions, etc, but they don't get credit for them in fantasy football. This is no different.

  • D A commented  ·   ·  Report

    No as they would be overvalued as other players can not participate in Wins, Saves, Save% and SO

  • John commented  ·   ·  Report

    PIMs and hits should be rewarded in my opinion. Otherwise, everybody will only pick offensive players, making it boring. Goons and rats are a part of hockey and it is fun to have them in the lineup, contributing to our totals.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    To change the scoring on PIMs from the highest number of PIMs wins to the lowest number of PIMs wins in head-to-head leagues as well as rotisserie style leagues. Teams shouldn't be rewarded for having goons on their team and in the NHL, committing a penalty is not a good thing. At least give commissioners the option to change how PIMs is scored.

  • Luca Del Mastro commented  ·   ·  Report

    Great idea they should be rewarded the same as players also wouldn't mind seeing a point for a shootout loss for points leagues

  • Ron Tse commented  ·   ·  Report

    This should be a must have category in many private fantasy leagues...really surprised this is not available already.

  • Mike Schall commented  ·   ·  Report

    If yahoo can give stat options for faceoffs won and faceoffs lost, they should also be able to have categories such as takeaways and giveaways. You could either have them as two stat categories or have them as one stat category like +/-. This isn't much different than hits and blocks being stats.

    Shootout goals (both goalie and skater) and shootout saves would also be nice categories to add. Maybe a goalie category for overtime/shootout loss as well.
