Johnny was clearly excited which was also "my takeaway". There was also a question in there wondering why he looked so disappointed and acted like they hadn't even scored.
You mistake is to interpret Monahan's body language as an expression of "disappointment." I also watched the game live and then again this morning watched the condensed version. My interpretation of Monahan's reaction was one of expectation or relief—like the play was something he already knew would happen, which is pretty typical for an extremely low-key guy like him. In fact, his lack of celebration looked very similar to my own reaction following the goal. I was expecting it to happen, and when it did, I said "good," and turned off the TV.
