Despite the tough series, the Flyers fans were still satisfied with what their team was able to accomplish this postseason, and they gave them a standing ovation as they walked off the ice.
Head coach Rick Tocchet spoke about the standing ovation from the crowd, and he thanked them for their support after the game.
"I think it's amazing," Toochet said. "I really wanted to thank the fans for that. That was awesome for them to cheer us and yell 'Go Flyers.' Maybe it puts us on the map a little bit. I was just talking to Jonesy. He was saying, 'Man that was awesome to hear the fans cheer the guys on.' That's a good thing for the guys to understand this summer. We got fans behind us and we get this organization back on the map."
The Flyers had a nice run in the postseason as they were able to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. Unfortunately, they ran into a hot Hurricanes team that hasn't lost in the postseason yet, and they'll try to keep that streak alive going into the Eastern Conference Finals.
