Fantrax has had its own issues with player statuses.

I agree. Fantrax is far from perfect. But also far more consistent than yahoo.

I do like the frequency of live updates. If a guy gets a penalty it is updated on my screen by the time the puck drops.

But it's down 75% of the time. So most nights I wait about 2 hours for that update.

Yahoo is fine - it just has to do with their stats provider.
They must have the same stats provider as ESPN... because ESPN was out last night too.

It happens a couple times a year.
Overall, I think Yahoo is really good for fantasy hockey. (aside from the ridiculous dual-eligibility issues... don't get me started)

Pretty sure when these problems happen, it happens across all sites doesn't it? I know when I have a problem with Yahoo I typically try to go to NHL.com but it usually has the same problem (shows me that none of the games have started, or that all the time is still at 20:00
I DO own Benn! lol Excellent point.

Yahoo should be blamed for not kicking the ass of their stats provider.

Agreed. Whenever Yahoo has been down & I've checked NHL.com, it's down also- so I don't think Yahoo is to blame here.

The multiple goal thing the other day was annoying though - I hope these things get sorted soon.

Benn owner here too! Can't wait to get some help with the PPP
