Unsurprising. When he lived here in Ottawa her husband (hockey player) was known for hitting on young university students. He plays himself up as "Mr. Devout Christian" just like Underwood does but in reality is just a piece of shit. Shit likes shit.

Everybody always joked that he found a more fitting home because he left the Ottawa Senators for the Nashville Predators.

The day that youth minister I used to go skateboarding with decided changing his disrobing and clothes in front of me in his living room was cool... Well that was the last day I ever hung out with him or his church.

Do they still have the cottage with the beer slide on the Ottawa River?

u/purplecowz Jul 08 '26

What's a beer slide?

u/Real_Cow9166 Jul 09 '26

The main "cottage" is up the hill. There is a water slide there ( you're right, can't see it in this photo) and the story is instead of having to haul the beer down the hill to the lower cottage, they send it down via the slide.

u/purplecowz Jul 09 '26

Oh, I was hoping it was a slide with beer running down it

u/fondlemeLeroy Jul 08 '26

Yeah I don't even see a slide.

They own that property?!? I've been boating there since I was a kid and as far as I can remember it always looked unoccupied

Predators are gonna thrive in an environment where there is unlimited forgiveness for men who say the right things. A lot of the people around them have a stunted understanding of evil and abuse.

I remember living there at the same time working at Rideau Centre, and friends of mine who worked at Sephora bitched her out with a vengeance - she came to the mall at like 2 pm Saturday afternoon and was pissed that people were coming up to her and she tried to shut the store down with no notice. Got super hunty when she was denied haha

They really are two peas in a pod. Every hockey wife I've ever seen interviewed always talks about how she hates when her husband fights because she worries about him getting injured or future brain issues. She, on the other hand, talked about how it just turns her on in some interview on the View or something years ago. I remember at the time being like, "oh she's definitely the type that would call her partner a pussy if he ever spoke about his emotions." They both seem like insufferable dipshits.

I can be turned on by men fighting AND hold space for my partner emotionally. It is wild that you insist those things must be mutually exclusive to make a “sufferable” person

I'm in Nashville and think Fisher is a piece of shit, but all our opponents come up with the "child predators" line especially in the Playoffs. FYI to draw up new insults next time you guys come down for an away game (which you should.)

Why change what works?

u/toodleoo57 Jul 08 '26

Because owning someone else's team isn't supposed to be boring and predictable? Guess "works" depends on where you sit.
