On the 4 on 1 Colborne has to skate hard to that far post and make himself a threat to score. Colborne has to force the defender or goalie to consider him a threat. Instead he coasted into the crease waiting for a pass. That's Monahan's role as the middle skater.
Gaudreau was looking for an opening but the goalie didn't have to move because there wasn't a legitimate option for Gaudreau to pass it to.
