Kuznetsov's brilliant bird celebration inspired by 'FIFA'

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.
