Kuznetsov's brilliant bird celebration inspired by 'FIFA'
by from on (#1VCT5)
Russia's Evgeny Kuznetsov is one of hockey's most dangerous forwards.
Just ask North America defenseman Morgan Rielly.
Kuznetsov dummied Rielly in the second period Monday, scoring an end-to-end highlight-reel goal, busting out an even better celebration:
Asked about the celebration, Kuznetsov was short and to the point:
"If you play FIFA, you know," he said.

For the uneducated:
With Russia needing a win over North America, the goal was a massive one.
Kuznetsov celebrated accordingly - Russia won 4-3.
