What was Varlamov thinking there?
This is the most sensible explanation of this unfortunate episode.Tough play but it looked like Varly was initially setting up the puck for a retrieval by Barberio. Barberio read that and shoulder checked the Philly Forechecker before going to pick up the puck up. But by that point Varly covered it and moved a couple feet to his left and by the time Barberio looked back up it was too late.
Unfortunate play but I can't blame Barberio too much.
Looks like he got caught in between playing it or covering it up after the linesman waived off the icing late. He got caught off guard after relaxing for the icing.
more on varlamov than anyone really
