It probably would’ve been too much to ask, to have this many things go the Flyers’ organization’s way in a single weekend.
But the Lehigh Valley Phantoms’ season — the team’s best season in a decade, the one in which it made its first playoff appearance since before it moved out of Philadelphia — came to an end on Sunday evening, as they dropped a 3-2 game to the Hershey Bears and were eliminated from the playoffs in front of their home crowd at the PPL Center in Allentown. With Hershey’s win, all five games in the series were won by the road team, which is an odd twist on home-ice advantage.
