The city of Ottawa hates Carrie Underwood

A. Isaac Senior Editor

Our friends north of the border take their hockey very seriously. Take, for example, this story about Senators center Mike Fisher being traded earlier this week. Fans weren’t upset with Fisher for getting the boot out of town but rather with his wife, country music sensation Carrie Underwood, who undoubtedly is not a fan of -10 degree winters. Oddly enough, Fisher was traded to the country music capital of the world, Nashville.

Hmmm, seems like too much of a coincidence right?

Country music star Carrie Underwood, a former winner of American Idol, likely wasn’t living in her target market up in Canada, and a move to a country music hotbed like Nashville probably made her one happy lady. The fact that The Tennesseean referred to Fisher as “Carrie Underwood’s husband” in a headline for the story announcing the trade only drives that point home.
The only problem is that Fisher’s departure has left a whole lot of angry folks up in Ottawa, to the point where her music has been banned from the city’s biggest radio stations.
The station now insists that it was a tongue-in-cheek way of saying goodbye to Fisher and Underwood, “Ottawa’s first couple.”

Who knew Underwood’s powers stretched far beyond looking good in a bikini and writing terrible songs–now she orchestrates hockey trades.

And, to be fair to the radio station itself, I’m pretty sure country isn’t the preferred genre of music up there. Just a guess though.
