Carrie Underwood is taking the heat after her husband Mike Fisher made the move from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators.
Ottawa station Kiss 105.3 FM issued a tongue-in-cheek ban of the country singer's hits from their playlist, writing in a statement: “We know Mike Fisher is not to blame for this trade but feel he was lured away from Ottawa by a country-music superstar. Sure, she’s pretty. Yes, she can sing. But can she play hockey? Can she put one on the top shelf with a slap shot? No!”
Other Ottawa media outlets are similarly outraged. One compared Underwood to John Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono.
Fisher, meanwhile, is playing defense for his wife. "I heard about it right away and Carrie heard about it and she was extremely disappointed and frustrated," said Fisher to Vancouver Sun. "I think they meant it as a joke that really wasn't funny."
