I can use your exact logic to argue that Andrew Mangipane should feel like a "dumb ass" who "failed to create a safe situation" because he missed a wide open net in the first period. After all, all other things being equal, that would have also made it 3-0. Hell, I could likely use your logic to make any player on either roster out to be the bad guy. Which only underscores how absurd your position is.

Hanifin could have scored too. He panicked a bit and shot before getting any open ice. IIRC Ryan had a chance at the empty net. Backs could also have just fired the puck out instead of skating it. Johnny shouldn't have gone offside. Smith could have let one in (in which case its a one goal game and Monahan is more selfish about shooting).
