JAMES VAN RIEMSDYK INCREDIBLE GOAL

[mrbrandonmacdonald]

kids a beast in the making

[gonotredame40]

JVR! JVR! JVR! JVR!

when youve got the entire wells fargo center chantin' one name youre doin everything right.

[sensovie]

at 0:05 seconds, i saw that next move coming

[MikeSerota]

I like using this move, pretty deceptive.. but don't know why the defender fell for it here.... who was he going to pass to as he brought the puck out wide on his forehand side?? lol

[23djmix]

He's still trying that stupid toe drag move with the puck in the NHL. Good luck with that.

[thefoppa1000]

do it for the Flyers now, you knob.

[lviv4eva]

this guy seems so happy

[spriggs20]

Kane>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>JV­R

[txravis3]

@spriggs20

hence, why kane went #1?

seriously why is that needed? here let me try... Richards>>>>>>>>>>brower/ladd/­madden/kopecky

see a first line player from the flyers compared to 3rd liners from chicago, but was it needed for me to say that he was better? no because there's not even a comparison there.

[savestheday1726]

no, not the next joe thornton at all. that's an awful comparison. He doesn't have the hands that joe has, let alone the passing ability.

[Crawford1987]

@savestheday1726: That's why I said, "at best." He's only 20 years old, anyways, so he's still very raw. He's going to be an awesome power forward someday. But it's just a shame that the Flyers didnt' get the no.1 pick that year when they were last in the NHL.

[txravis3]

@savestheday1726 i'm a flyers fan and i agree, the BEST we can hope for is a rick nash style and yet not quite the caliber. the kid will be good, but not joe thornton good

[savestheday1726]

@txravis3 completely agree with you. i think he'll pan out to be very similar to rick nash, probably with a little less point production. great comparison.

[silberzwibeli]

what a shitty commentator

[hockeyboy3810]

the announcer has no emotion because its in Boston and there playing UNH. if you knew anything about these teams you'd know there big time rivals

[Philly2002]

What a terrible announcer.. no fucking emotion.

[sortman94]

fucking homer announcer

[motoxkid71]

just discovered this kid on tuesday when i went to the flyers game..excellant player. he got two goals against the red wings, and one more the next game against new jersey

[mamaronecktigers]

damn shattenkirk got beat

[shadoofbaby2009]

Top line should be Gagne Giroux/Richards Ricahrds/ Giroux fisrt line second line Carter Hartnell JvR

[Italy4ever06]

where are the flyers gonna put briere in the linup if he stays healthy? he should maybe play with gagne and richards.. i don't know though but he was so good with buffalo and he can be good like that again if he stays healthy.. stevens did move him to RW

[shadoofbaby2009]

nice goal. i just hope hes nothing close to ovechkin in his celebrations in the nhl.

[QuIsKy182]

it wasnt a gay celebration sanchetti75 you know nothing about james or who he is i skat3ed with him all last week hes a beast and no it was a completley necessary celebration

[2nuggs1]

i hear hes pretty young and an american....has he been selected in the draft?i....... dont get to watch east coast teams very much

[Chargersman77]

yes, hes young, american and drafted, he went second to the flyers after patrick kane went number 1 to the chicago blackhawks. There was an article about it in USAhockey magazine. "Americans Pack 1-2 Punch"

[ZangetsuVT390]

he was selected 2nd overall in '07 by the flyers next to patrick kane whom was selected by the blackhawks

[furyonenine]

that commentating does suck and its good to see another usa up-and-coming star

[sgoetz16]

I go to BU and was at this game and even as a HUGE terrier fan this was one of the sickest goals I've ever seen. Van Riemsdyk's an incredible player he'll do great in the show whenever he chooses to go.

[MafiaWarsAddict]

beutiful goal :)

sucky commentating :(

[lynxconcordia0788]

wow sick ass goal... but holy sh it does the commentating suck...

[sanchetti75]

I cant wait to see him in the orange and black but i could go without the gay celebration and you know who glass hop like its soccer or some shit.....

[shakeNspray]

how sick would this line be. Giroux, Carter, Van Riemsdyk

[whytecycho2142]

I'd rather see Powe with Giroux and JVR, but yea it'd be a good line

[Toastabl3]

nah dude giroux carter hartnell, gagne richards JVR(Van Riemsdyk)

[suffer2heal]

he wasnt being shopped around but he was asked to be part of a trade in aquiring Bouwmeester Homgren said NO! and he's ready to play hockey now he signed an entry level contract so just wait til next year!

[Smeags11]

Im Canadian so ive never really heard of these guys but while I was watching the Junior Tournament it looked to me like that Schroeder guy was better.

[Bulldogs119]

He's not that great.

Thus the reason Philadelphia was shopping him around at the trade deadline.

If he wants to get better he should've came and played in the CHL.

[Crawford1987]

He's not that great? He was picked 2nd overall in the draft in 2007 and the he's the complete package. He's tall (6'4, 210 lbs), very skilled, finesse and gritty, and skates very well. He could be the next Joe Thornton, at best.

[Canuckfan3]

James is a very talented player, the only reason Philly considered shopping him at the deadline was because he refuses to turn pro. He said he wants to finish school before playing in the NHL. Philly believes if he turns pro & Joins the Phantoms of the AHL he'll be tought hockey by a better coaching staff & understand the game. However like I said James has made it clear, he wants to finish school at the University of New Hampshire before playing. Philly wants him now & Philly doesn't wanna wait

[BAFC14]

hell ya

[bdawk511]

Worst call ever? James is already a great player, can't wait to see him in Orange and Black

[25mjs03]

I agreeeeeee.

He's definitely a gooder.

[ranndino]

Someone should post the goal Van Riemsdyk scored in OT to win the 5th place game over the Czechs. It was sick. That's what I was looking for when I found this.

[6m6i6c]

word, that goal was super sick man. Even that late goal against slo was pretty awsome. Can't believe the were only 3 and 10 respectively on tsn's top ten of the tournament. Those homers

[Kenjihockey]

horse shit celebration

[sinkingsam]

It was his first collegiate goal. He was excited. Sure it looks sorta silly, but I am sure he wasn't thinking about how silly he might look at the time. Adrenaline. Nice goal.

[RevLSM33]

that was avalanche draft pick Colby Cohen he went around so easily

[russianrocket2]

i gotta agree, but i think avery is more talented than downie but that might be just because he's older

[chodehead11]

dangle fest.

[russianrocket2]

lol yea thats true

[BroadStBully82]

the refs

[russianrocket2]

whose a bigger dick, downie or avery??

[AlexKovy]

avery

[dak879]

Lol yes I was there for that goal. Everyone just sort of gasped at how good it was.

[wildcatbungalo]

don't forget - that defenseman isn't just some D-1 shmoe either, it's the number 14 overall pick from the 2007 Draft, Kevin Shattenkirk - vanRiemsdyk's old teammate.

[flyersgurl56]

james is awesomee!!!!!!!!!

cant wait until he comes on with the flyers

we will dominate with girox downie matsumuto!!!

[Nocashstyle]

Downie? Dominating? hahahahaha

[legere14]

that looked terrible...im sure it would be good if it was better quality.

[darkheadshot]

I hope this guy fits the description of a cheapshot artist because that's the face of the flyers team.... cheat to win. That won't win them championships anytime soon.

[ThreeSecondDoom]

Tissue?

[darkheadshot]

paper?

[tmacbrenbren]

Jimmy the jersey kid

[leomaiolo]

buffalos announcer is awesome y does everyone rip on him haha i loved hearin buffalo score (not against phili) in highlights just to hear him scream...but JVR is gunna be unreal well prolly have him 2009-2010 season

[eagles1820]

he only annoys me because he is so abnoxiously loud and it was annoying hearing him call briere the cookie monster

[leomaiolo]

lmao i thought that was awesome haha but ya i can c y ppl think hes annoying hes gives off a love/hate vibe

[eagles1820]

i love his passion and enthusiasm but idk hes just so loud :)

[twodayslatertdl]

i don't like him because you can hear his arteries clogging as he says the word "Scoreeeeeeeeeeeeee"

[StellarKart66]

Can't wait to see this dude in Orange and Black! With him and Giroux coming soon, Flyers' future is even brighter!

[Gjhoward3]

GOOO BU

[Bud216]

go bu

[oehieze]

I thought you couldn't "dangle" james... ya liar! :)

[bdillon75]

cant wait til he is up with the flyers

[Lattanzio57]

I can't wait to see him doing that for the Flyers..they already have one of the sickest young lineups in the league and the 3rd best offense behind Ottawa and Detroit.

[Pensfreak]

And the Pens, but this kid looks great. Watching him play reminds me a bit of a young John Leclaire.

[shredder777]

WOW what horrible announcing id hate to live in the US and have to listen to such monotone announcing. Good thing i live in Canada were, watching hockey is never boring no matter what teams are playing.

[royfan3035]

Yeah, most of our anouncers do suck, I'd rather mute the TV than listen to a lot of them (particularly Tampa Bay's announcer, bleh).

[19gbuck21]

devils announcer is the worst

[dak879]

Are you kidding, Doc is considered to be one of the best announcers in the league by many teams and fans. He has even won emmys for his broadcasting. Why do you think they choose him to do games on Versus and NBC?

[tguts]

The tie for the worst NHL announcers is between that bum in Buffalo and the homers from NESN.

[Crawford1987]

lol you mean Rick Jeanerette? He's the announcer for the sabres...yea he's really annoying..it would be unbearable to have to deal with him for an entire game.

[Glermitte]

@tguts ....you know this isn't the NHL right...

[hockeysupasta4]

@tguts thats not a nesn announcer

[wmbdm]

woo Hoo,the Canucks Beat USA at the World Juniors 4-1!!! Russia has to play USA for Bronze!!!..go Russia!

[Gjhoward3]

yeah im sure you have. but this is the second overall pick in the draft. he also is pullin this move on his old teammate, another top ten pick in the draft. thanks for your comment

[jak2127]

thankyou for correcting bulldogs.. he needed to be reprimanded for a completely rediculous comment

[Bulldogs119]

Yeah okay goal seen that one like 20 times in the last year though

[rojohn44]

btw, Pete MacArthur pulled that same move (both lefties, too) on BC a couple of years ago. Except Mac didn't score. Still a nasty move to pull off though.

[rojohn44]

thanks for posting this.

[mgumina17]

ive skated with him

he was on my brothers team twice

[wildcatbungalo]

Go 'Cats!

[gannable]

cant wait to see him, downie, parent, giroux in orange and black

[Lattanzio57]

I can't wait to see him on the Flyers.

[Scone527]

That was nasty as hell

[dMumm]

thats just fucking ridiculous

[mscappa1]

lets go flyers...
