All season long, Evgeny Kuznetsov has done the FIFA bird walk celebration after big goals.
You guys, this was a HUGE GOAL (for exactly four minutes and 31 seconds).

Justin Williams tied up a Penguins defenseman in front, and Matt Niskanen found Kuznetsov wide open in front of the net for a one-time goal. It was Kuznetsov’s second tally of the postseason.
To celebrate, Kuzy did the FIFA bird walk as the Verizon Center crowd roared.
That reminds me. Did you know that Penguins can’t fly?
Nick Bonino would score nearly five minutes later to give the Pens back in the lead.
