NASHVILLE -- Travel is bad enough for NHL players. Red-eye flights from the West Coast to the East. Playing back-to-back nights and checking into hotels in the middle of the night.

For Mike Fisher, after he married country music star Carrie Underwood, there was the hidden travel. With her living in Nashville and him in Ottawa, the couple tried to rendezvous a couple of times a month.
Sometimes it was off days. Fisher could leave after a game at Scotiabank Place and, by flying out of Carp Airport, a small municipal airport near the arena, he could arrive in Nashville before midnight Central Time.
Sometimes Underwood was on tour and they would meet in random cities, which made it even more difficult for Fisher to see his wife.
With Fisher's trade to the Predators Feb. 10, 2010, for a first- and a third-round pick, all of that came to an end.
