More Quenneville:
“That's what it's all about: Details, habits, systems. Tightening up and playing the right way, and playing with a purpose. This team, we can't give them anything, (they) have to earn it.”
#FlyTogether
Joel Quenneville on tonight’s performance:
“That was a tough loss. We did a lot of things right and we're happy about certain things. Disappointed, but creates a more desperate appetite going forward.”
#FlyTogether
Carlsson on keeping pace with the Oilers:
“We knew that it was going to be hard, but also, we're a great team also. So we knew it was going to be tight series for sure.”
#FlyTogether
Carlsson on what the team can learn from tonight’s game:
“One turnover can turn the game. So, just got to be less sloppy and play more playoff hockey.”
#FlyTogether
Leo Carlsson on tonight’s performance:
“I thought we played pretty good. Just a little sloppy again with the goals. Some stuff in hockey happens, so can't really do anything about that. But yeah, just a little sloppy out there and they took advantage of it.”
#FlyTogether
More Terry:
“It’s unfortunate, the result of that game, and it's going to be tough to swallow. But we’ve got to put it behind us. We kind of got our feet under us and yeah, we're into this thing now.”
#FlyTogether
Terry on the play late in the game that could have tied it:
“It was a hard play for (Granlund). I knew that they were all kind of selling out that way, so I was just trying to put it back to the other side. I thought we had some looks there at the end, too.”
#FlyTogether
Troy Terry on tonight’s performance:
“I didn't think we weren't ready to start the game. We were doing a lot of (good) things, just maybe some quick lessons on mental mistakes. It's hard to start a playoff game down 2-0 but I thought we settled in after the first.”
#FlyTogether
Final: Ducks 3, Oilers 4.
Goals came from Terry (x2) and Carlsson.
Ducks down 0-1 in the series.

A brilliant ode to the Ducks’ current longest-tenured player, Troy Terry, who is among the many players on the Ducks roster making their Stanley Cup Playoffs debuts tonight.

Long travel day for me, but 100% worth it. There will be boots on the ground coverage for EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. of the Ducks’ playoff run this season, whether it’s 4 or 28 games.

Looks like G Slava Buteyets has been recalled to Anaheim, per ECHL transactions. Will likely serve as the Ducks’ emergency goalie for the playoffs.
Gulls have three goaltenders, but Calle Clang left last night’s game with an injury and did not return.

The Ducks can beat the Oilers, if they play a simple, predictable game.

Terry joked that after himself, his wife Dani might be the second-longest tenured person in the org.
“She’s been excited for me and the group. It’s been a long journey, so I'm happy for her that she finally gets to put some (playoff) jackets together and enjoy it.”
#FlyTogether
Joel Quenneville said they expect Johnston to play in the series.
“We’ll see if he gets in, in Edmonton.”
#FlyTogether
Troy Terry said it’s been a process since he joined the organization, with the amount of change they’ve had during their rebuild.
“I know for everyone in here and selfishly for me, (making the playoffs) means a lot, just being through the whole process of it.”
