“We played Yann’s team in our last game - he was teamed with Tochkin and Jordan,” wrote Anthony in the final entry of his Canucks.com blog. “I’m not going to lie, our team wanted to win really bad going into this last one because our record wasn’t so good and because it was against Yann so bragging rights were on the line. We ended up winning 2-1, which is really the game we needed to win most any way. Yann will definitely hear about it all the way to the airport. He didn’t say much to me after the game though, but that’s probably because he figured we would win anyway.”
Anthony also stated he hopes to see another teammate from last year’s Saint John team at the Traverse City prospects tournament in the Fall.
“Right now, all I can think of that might be at the tournament is our goalie from Saint John, Marco Cousineau, who was an Anaheim draft pick so he should coming with them,” wrote Anthony. “I think our first game’s against Taylor Hall, the first overall pick so I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of media checking out his first game. That will be exciting.”

“Steven Anthony chronicles prospect development camp in Vancouver for a week with insights from a player's point of view,” reads the official description of the blog.
Anthony, a seventh round pick of the Canucks in the 2009 National Hockey League entry draft, is partaking in his second summer prospect camp in Vancouver.
Speaking of Sauve, he "stood out" during the three-on-three tournament.
”It was a great tournament and we had fun and that was the goal of it, but it sucked to come up short,” laughed Sauve said to Canucks.com, who added that his team faced a tougher draw than the rest.
“It just felt like one really long shift and I don’t think our schedule was fair, we had back-to-back games, I mean come on!”
While the tournament didn’t finish the way Sauve had hoped, development camp did.
”It was a great camp. There were so many activities that we learned from and the nutrition and the Iron Chef and things were great.”
This was Sauve’s third time attending prospects camp with the Canucks and what stood out to the defenceman was the time dedicated to forming team camaraderie.
”The team building was really good, like the rowing, it brought us together. Then the baseball game was good to relax together. In the last two years we didn’t do any activities like that and it really made a big difference, the group was a lot tighter this year, everyone got to know everyone and that team building and joking around is important.”
