The Flyers magical run ended late Wednesday night.
The Fly Guys pushed the Blackhawks to overtime in Game 6 but it wasn’t enough.
The Chicago Blackhawks hoisted the Stanley Cup after beating the Flyers 4-3.
Patrick Kane sneaked the winning goal past Michael Leighton 4:10 into overtime as the Blackhawks became the first team to win on the road this series. It was the franchises first Cup since 1961.
Scott Hartnell kept the Flyers alive by scoring with 3:59 remaining in regulation.
The Flyers had other chances in regulation and overtime including point blank tries by Jeff Carter and Claude Giroux but neither Flyer found the net.
"I'm proud of everyone," said breakout star Ville Leino. "We were warriors."

Leino assisted on two goals including Danny Briere's second period score that made it 2-1 before Patrick Sharp and Andrew Ladd scored to put the Hawks back on top.
The Blackhawks completed their revival from the bottom of the NHL to holding the silver trophy on the strength of rising stars Kane and Jonathan Toews.
After the final goal became official, Flyers faithful turned their white towels into rally symbols only moments after they could have been used for surrender.
The fans politely applauded when the game was over as some chanted "Let's go Flyers." But the few thousand who stuck around booed as the Blackhawks took their turns hoisting the silver trophy.
"It's no consolation," Hartnell said. "The storybook ending ended the wrong way for us. It hurts."
Antti Niemi was solid in goal to help the Blackhawks wrap up their most successful season since Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita led the way 49 years ago. It ends the longest active championship drought in the NHL.
The Flyers are still looking for their first Stanley Cup title since 1975. They have lost their last six appearances in the Finals.
