General feedback regarding scoring options and requests for new scoring options and categories. Some common category requests are:
- Goal Line Stops
- Penalty Yards
- Customizable Points Allowed Options
- Successful Onside Kicks
- Touchbacks for Kickers
- Dropped passes
- Forced Fumbles (D/STs)
- QB Hits (IDPs)

The problem that Yahoo is going to state is that it would take an overhaul to change the goalie scoring structure, but I think there is an easy way to add these stats.
Let the goalies have their own separate statistical area for Wins, Saves, etc. But, give them a skater stat line below the defensemen that are playing that night. It will usually read all 0's, but there are several goalies that get multiple assists per season and many times where goalies get penalties.

I agree as well. While goalies scoring a goal may be rare, goalies like Ben Bishop can get several assists in a season. Goalies can also get penalties fairly easily.
The easiest way to do that would simply to have the goalies receive the same skater stat line right below the defensive players. It would usually be all 0's, but you wouldn't have to completely redo the Goaltender scoring area to get it done.

I agree. Takeaways and giveaways are two important stats that are already measured and tracked on most hockey sites. I could see not having these two as scoring options if you didn't already have options for Hits, Blocks, Faceoffs Won, Faceoffs Lost, and Shots Against.
You could combine them like +/- as the other person said or have two categories like Faceoffs Won and Faceoffs Lost; it wouldn't matter to me.

I completely agree. Mike Smith for example, will contribute to many of those categories. Also PIM

Why are goalies not able to score as forwards score? Goalies can have PPP, SHP, G, A, GWG, PIMs, SOG!? These points can add value to a goalie beyond what they currently have!
And why isn't there a mechanism that allows the commissioner to correct such errors if needed?

When checking any AVERAGE stat for a player, it would be nice to be able to see the results for various periods on the same page by way of a line graph.
Example- I search the AVERAGE stats for a players goals per game for the last 7 days, vs 14 days, vs 30 days vs Season. Each period could be shown on the same page represented by a different coloured line. This could show me that a player scored 1.5 per game the last 7 days, 0.9 in the last 14 days ....
The same line graph approach could be available for the AVERAGE of any stat such a, G A, Shots, Hits... and for Goalies as well. Our brains can relate much easier to pictures (line graphs) than a string of numbers ... -

Dale. Read the OP. Right now all you can do is set a hard number for FG by distance (30-39, 40-49). The idea is to set a baseline point for range PLUS adding 0.1 a yard after certain yardage.

Been asking Yahoo for expanded GOALIE STATS since I started fantasy on this in 2006. It's just sad that they can't get it done...

I agree that SO goals should NOT count in other stat categories but SHOULD be their own category. I think it adds another interesting category for head to head leagues. One more stat where you can draft specifically to fill that void.

Of the many bad ideas brought forth by the NHL in recent years, the shootout is the worst. Get rid of the shootout altogether, I say.

Goalie points and PIMs should count in head to head leagues too!

Yes this should be an option. If you don't like shootouts in hockey then you don't have to select it!

The scoring tool allows you to give whatever you want for points, really? Don't be so stupid, learn how to use the tools. Gees !!

I think they should allow commissioners to set their own fractional points if wanted for all scoring. Like 0.10 per yard which would be 1 point for 10 yards. I want to set sacks to 0.5 and completions to 0.25

It's a good idea - point of clarification, though... I'd like to see all FG's up to 39 yards stay at 3 points, then start the fractional scoring at 40 yard field goals. I don't like the idea of a 25-yard field goal only being worth 2.5 points.

This is a great idea. Makes sense from a logical standpoint Makes sense from a competition standpoint. The math isn't difficult. I think this is a no-brainier.

This is a stupid idea. So a 32 yr FG is 3.2? I'd rather make all FGs 3 points.

Good idea - this (as well as fractional DST scoring) should be an option, and probably default if a league uses fractional scoring for other positions.

Great idea, but it needs to be updated in real time. Right now our league stats are off by 20-30% until the next day because we use 1st down scoring. Yahoo please update 1st downs in real time like the rest of the stats. Thanks!
