She may not have been in the same state as her husband, but that didn't stop Carrie Underwood from reacting to his heroics.
While the country star made a stop in Green Bay for her "The Storyteller Tour," her husband, Mike Fisher, was entrenched in a war of a Stanley Cup playoffs Game 4 in the Predators' second-round series against the Sharks in Nashville on Thursday.
It took three overtimes to decide the contest, and it was Fisher who beat San Jose goaltender Martin Jones (41 saves) to win it for his team 11:12 into the third extra frame -- his second goal of the night. Nashville won 4-3 and tied its playoff series 2-2 as it heads back to San Jose for Game 5 on Saturday.
After her husband's heroics, Underwood took to Twitter to comment on the goal:
My. Husband. #PredsvsSharks @mikefisher1212

Colin Wilson opened up the scoring for the Predators with his fourth goal of the playoffs, but Brent Burns quickly found the equalizer for the Sharks. Fisher then put the Predators up 2-1, but goals by Joonas Donskoi (3) and Burns (4) put San Jose ahead by one.
With less than five minutes remaining in the game, James Neal scored for his third goal of the postseason to force overtime.
Three periods later, Fisher sent the crowd home happy with a victory.
Prior to her husband's big feat, Underwood took the stage in Green Bay and was clearly in the sports mood. The "Jesus Take The Wheel" singer donned a Cheesehead in honor of the Packers during her show:

Earlier this hockey season, Fisher notched his milestone 1,000th career NHL game, which had his wife gushing with pride.
"It's very special for our family to get to be here for Mike," Underwood told NHL.com in March after attending the game. "He's there for me and for us as much as he possibly can be with his busy schedule and it's nice to be able to return the favor."
Fisher, 35, has 167 goals, 181 assists and 348 points during his 16-year career and is 22-24--46 in 111 playoff games.
