When everyone had hope, he was invisible. Now that the flames are eliminated, he's showing more. If he wants to be a top player on this team, he has to be more consistent, beginning with Game #1.

You have the cause and effect wrong here. Colborne is playing the wing because he has been outplayed by Backlund at centre since November, and they want him playing more than 4th line minutes.
