The 2012 edition of the CMT Artists of the Year show was filmed Monday night in Nashville, and Fish attended with his superstar wife Carrie Underwood (here’s a pic of the happy couple on the red carpet).
I know many hockey fans reviled at the thought of Fisher’s connection to country music as having any influence on his value as a Nashville Predator, but hey, positive press exposure comes in handy, especially during times like these.
The following press release was found at The Futon Critic:
