PENTICTON, B.C. – Once you’re coming off a 50-win season, pumped up the roster over the summer season with extra velocity and offensive expertise, and have elevated expectations, a coaching camp going to kind is definitely a reasonably good factor.
Apart from opening with some disappointing damage information on goalie Thatcher Demko and winger Dakota Joshua, the Vancouver Canucks couldn’t have anticipated their 4 days within the South Okanagan to go a lot better.
• There was a clean begin to the mixing of six Nationwide Hockey League gamers new to the crew, together with 4 wingers who appeared as quick and expert as marketed. Even off the report, a few Canuck veterans talked about how likeable and desirous to mix within the new guys are.
• After spending the summer season game-planning with workers on how you can generate extra pictures and scoring probabilities, head coach Rick Tocchet acquired the camp he envisioned with an emphasis on transition, faster puck motion and attacking velocity.
• The Canucks’ core gamers all appeared good. Elias Pettersson displayed no indicators of a sore knee, J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser set the tone and tempo every day in practices, Quinn Hughes was Quinn Hughes, and Filip Hronek seems poised to take his recreation up one other notch after re-signing in Vancouver for eight years and $58 million.
• High minor-leaguers pushing for NHL jobs, like Arshdeep Bains, Aatu Raty and Linus Karlsson, all confirmed properly. And No. 1 prospect Jonathan Lekkerimaki seems legit and able to changing into an impression participant within the NHL, presumably however not most likely quickly. And youthful prospects like defencemen Elias Pettersson (EP2), Sawyer Mynio and Kirill Kudryavtsev, and goalie Ty Younger enhanced their organizational standing.
• With Demko nonetheless out indefinitely, however emphatic that his injured knee is enhancing and that he’ll totally recuperate, the least spectacular space for the Canucks was in web. However with the tactical emphasis on transition and attacking, even Tocchet conceded it was a troublesome camp on goalies. And Saturday’s signing of veteran NHL backup Kevin Lankinen quells numerous the unease as Vancouver enters the pre-season with 23-year-old rookie Arturs Silovs as their No. 1 goalie on paper.
• In the future after the Lankinen commerce, Silovs had his greatest day at camp on Sunday, stopping all 16 pictures he confronted within the first half of the Canucks’ solely scrimmage in Penticton. Silovs’ saves included point-blank stops on newcomers Daniel Sprong and Danton Heinen.
About to begin a spell of 5 pre-season video games in seven nights, starting Tuesday at Rogers Enviornment towards the Seattle Kraken, the Canucks returned to Vancouver on Sunday with numerous positivity.
“Total, you’re comfortable,” Tocchet mentioned. “However, you understand, we’ve acquired to get the subsequent step.”

SCRIMMAGE NOTES
The Blues beat the Whites 2-1 within the two-period scrimmage on the South Okanagan Occasions Centre. Mark Friedman and Conor Garland scored for the winners, whereas Heinen scored for the Whites, which was really the higher crew.
Silovs would have been the primary star, conserving the Blues forward 1-0 by means of 20 minutes regardless of being outshot 16-9. Probably the most harmful ahead line was most likely Nils Hoglander, Raty and Garland for the Blues, though Bains and Sprong appeared good on a line with Pius Suter.
“This camp, clearly we went to Recreation 7 of the second spherical (of the playoffs), so our expectations are larger,” Garland advised reporters after the scrimmage. “We perceive how arduous it’s. We’re all pushing, attempting to get in the very best form we will, attempting to get the system as quick as we will. Now we have type of a bonus this yr of realizing our system from the yr earlier than … so these practices are somewhat simpler for us. It’s essential to have a superb camp and beginning off from Recreation 1.”
Tocchet mentioned he expects junior gamers and some others to be re-assigned on Monday, because the Canucks cut back camp numbers so as to open the pre-season with two enjoying teams as an alternative of three.
POWER PLAY PRACTICE
The scrimmage was preceded by the primary special-teams session of camp, however Tocchet didn’t mix gamers from totally different teams so there are not any indicators but of a full NHL energy play. The coach did say Saturday that Jake DeBrusk is the pure first option to fill the bumper place between power-play incumbents Miller, Boeser, Pettersson and Hughes.
“I’m not likely in search of performs, I’ll be sincere with you,” Tocchet defined. “To me, it’s a mindset. I don’t wish to see frustration. I wish to see guys chasing pucks down, I wish to see guys work, I wish to see guys assault. I don’t wish to see frustration. Now we have to have the mindset of a working energy play and an assault type. We’ll fear about performs down the street.”

LEKKERIMAKI ROLL
Prospects event? Examine. Coaching camp? Examine. No one acquired extra out of two weekends in Penticton than high prospect Jonathan Lekkerimaki, whose subsequent check can be pre-season NHL video games.
The 20-year-old goal-scorer spent coaching camp on the precise wing alongside DeBrusk and Pettersson.
Lekkerimaki appeared harmful every day and did nothing to decrease his shiny outlook with the Canucks, even when the 15th decide of the 2022 entry draft didn’t really feel that he performed his greatest.
Requested what he preferred about his camp, Lekkerimaki mentioned, “Uh…..” after which paused for eight seconds.
Did he like something?
“I don’t suppose so,” the soft-spoken Swede mentioned. “I feel I can do higher. I feel I have to get stronger on the puck possibly, and hopefully rating some targets.”
The winger who scored 19 instances in 46 video games final season for Orebro and was the Swedish Hockey League’s rookie of the yr admitted he was “a bit shocked” when he noticed his coaching camp project with Pettersson and DeBrusk.
It was indicative of how extremely the Canucks regard Lekkerimaki, who feels able to making the NHL roster this fall.
“It is a nice alternative,” he mentioned. “I’ve every little thing to win. Simply exit and have enjoyable and play my recreation.”
Partly for the prospect to play with Pettersson, DeBrusk signed a seven-year, $38.5-million contract in July to hitch the Canucks. However he sounded impressed with what he noticed from Lekkerimaki.
“Everybody talks about his shot,” DeBrusk mentioned Saturday. “I feel that’s one factor that pops off the web page. His launch is so fast, it’s deadly. However his hockey IQ, he thinks the sport. He is aware of when to make performs. I feel offensively, he’s acquired actually good IQ. Generally it’s robust with younger guys; you normally wish to dish the puck to guys like Pettersson on a regular basis. You wish to drive feeds. However he really makes the precise play. I feel Canucks followers needs to be excited.”
“I feel there’s numerous good issues,” Tocchet mentioned of Lekkerimaki. “He checks the field on numerous issues. Now, it’s actual motion with stiffer competitors.”

BLAIS TRAIL
Whereas the camp demotion of skilled minor-league goalie Dylan Ferguson appeared irrelevant within the context of Lankinen’s acquisition, the opposite participant on a PTO with the Canucks, veteran NHL winger Sammy Blais, was spectacular.
Tocchet praised Blais a few instances throughout camp, however the 29-year-old who has averaged greater than three hits per recreation in his profession should stand out within the pre-season together with his strong recreation.
“It’s my first time being on a PTO,” Blais mentioned Saturday. “It’s been somewhat nerve-wracking. However I’ve been round a very long time within the NHL so I type of know what to do to achieve success. If I simply play my recreation, I feel I’ll be advantageous.
“I’m a bodily man on the market. I play the sport arduous, nostril to nostril. I type of know what makes me profitable.”
The Canucks prolonged a tryout supply to Blais partly on the advice of Craig Berube, who’s associates with Tocchet and with whom Blais received a Stanley Cup as a rookie with the St. Louis Blues in 2019.
