He gained notoriety not respect. To be fair I am not sure a 30 year old AHL goalie had a lot of respect to lose in NHL circles. It's a one time thing. Beer league for sure.
The situation reminds me slightly of an Avery type tactic (remember when he kept holding his gloves in the face of the goalie to screen him). Difference is Avery was NHL level, and I am not suggesting that Leggio is anywhere near that big of a ######.
