He could have at least jumped and down and waved his arms making whooping noises to distract the Flyers attackers

What exactly would you like him to do there? It was a bizarre scramble in front of the net. He turned around after the initial shot sequence to basically find all 5 Penguin players inside his crease trying to play goaltender. Why did he stand there watching?...for the exact reason of what took place. The puck somehow bounced out of the pile directly to Couturier and Vokoun was in perfect position to try and make another save after turning around again. He ended up flopping down to try and freeze the puck and was unsuccessful allowing Grossman to finally squeeze it through somehow. I guess he could have flopped down in the crease earlier with the result being that Philly scored even quicker on the play. Nothing he could do. Just a bizarre play from start to finish and blaming that goal on anything Vokoun did or didn't do is equally bizarre.

You're facing your own freaking goal, take a penalty. Anything but standing there then flopping to your belly making snow angels.
There are five penguins closer to goal than the goalie at that point, don't tell me he did nothing wrong.

I think with the amount of Penguins players in the crease, there would be no case for goalie interference as long as a Flyer didn't take out Vokoun. But say Vokoun came out and only a Flyer was in the crease and he hindered Vokoun's chance at making a save it would be No Goal.
