Watch: Goalie pushes net off pegs during breakaway ... again

David Leggio is back to his old tricks.
The former AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers goalie - who was made famous for pushing the net off its pegs in 2014 when he was suddenly faced with a 2-on-0 in order to face a single shooter in a penalty shot - pulled off the cheeky move once again Saturday.
Now playing with Munich EHC in Germany, Leggio once again pushed the net off its pegs as a player broke in on a breakaway.
Leggio's move in 2014 resulted in a rule change, as goalies who now push the net off on purpose during a breakaway receive game misconducts. It will be interesting to see if the German league follows suit.
