Carrie Underwood sends love to husband Mike Fisher after retirement

With the retirement of Nashville Predators captain Mike Fisher Tim and Sid look at his impressive career and the lasting impressions he had on the two teams he played for.

Nashville Predators captain Mike Fisher announced his retirement from the NHL on Thursday and well wishes from fans poured onto social media.

That included a message on Instagram from his biggest fan, his wife Carrie Underwood.

“Captain @mfisher1212 I sure am going to miss watching you play and cheering you on with the rest of Smashville, but I so look forward to seeing what God has in store for you in this next chapter of your life,” Underwood wrote. “You’ve given your teammates and the game your all for so many years…you’ve worked so hard and made us all so proud! Isaiah and I love you so much and are so excited to be able to have you home a lot more…We can’t wait to cheer on the @predsnhl WITH you in the stands! #ThankYouSmashville #PredsFansForLife”

Since Fisher was traded to the Predators in 2010, Underwood has helped grow the game in Music City, as the team’s miracle run to the Stanley Cup Final this past season showed.

Now she’ll have her husband by her side when she cheers on her beloved Preds.
