Really, no different than when Avery tried to use his glove to blind goalies. It's really a shame that there needs to be a rule written down to stop players from doing something everyone knows is pathetic. It's not like Leggio was the first goalie to ever think it would be better to just knock the net off. Most just have more respect for the game than to do something childish like that.
