How would Finn Hudson look in a grizzly beard? Because it’s Stanley Cup playoff season in the National Hockey League, the time when superstitious players refuse to shave as long as their team’s alive, and Glee‘s Cory Monteith is a passionate Vancouver Canucks fan. His team advanced to the second round on Tuesday night with a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory in a Game 7 against the Chicago Blackhawks. Wearing a green Canucks t-shirt, the Canadian native stopped by NHL.com to relive his team’s glorious cliffhanger, which he witnessed on TV in a midtown New York pub. “I literally stood up … and started screaming,” crowed Monteith. “And everybody was like, ‘What is this guy doing?’”
Vancouver and Monteith might have their hands full now, though. Not only do the Canucks face the Nashville Predators in a best-of-seven series beginning tonight, but Monteith’s fandom — and singing talents — is about to be crushed by one Carrie Underwood. The singing sensation is married to Predators forward Mike Fisher.
Will these two high-profile fans be willing to put their voices where… their mouths are? Loser has to sing the other’s national anthem in the playoffs’ next round? Who’s game for a little wager?

Wow I can’t believe this is really a story. So they don’t know each other at all- the only connection is he likes a hockey team that is playing Carrie’s husband’s team? Uhh..
Go Vancouver!
Great story. Cory could sing the Canadian anthem and Carrie could sing the American anthem and everybody would be happy. BTW, Mike Fisher is a real cutie!
Carrie should sing her husband’s national anthem for a change.
she hates canada though!
No, Underswood doesn’t hate Canada.
Just Canadians hate her, ban her songs on radio because Mike was traded to Preds.
she is very upset for it.
That ban was a joke… they were kidding. Carrie needs to get a sense of humour.
GO CANUCKS GO!
GO CANUCKS GO! Bring Lord Stanley home!
Wouldn’t the Canucks have to have won the Cup at least once for it to “come home”?
Home to Canada!
I think the person was more referring to his/her home, Canada.
Plus Stanley Park is in Vancouver. Same dude.
Go Predators! Vancouver is the only team that can take away home ice advantage from the Caps, so I’d rather them lose. C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS!
Love this! C A P S CAPS CAPS CAPS!!!
The Caps are really the only team to watch anyways… UNLEASH THE FURY!
The Red Wings are going to win the cup, so this is all moot anyway!
word
Lord Stanley’s coming back to Hockeytown!
The Red Wings are old tired men. There best D man is 40 something.
Go Preds!!!!
i watched the van/chi game 7 because my bf was watching it and i must say that it’s made a hockey fan out of me.
Welcome Lacy. Hockey needs all the fans it can get. You’ll find it to be the fastest, most exciting game on the planet.
OMG me too!!! I wasn’t rooting for anybody but it felt like I was about to die from heart failure from the tension and excitement!
I love hockey but this is a pointless article. GO PREDS!! Payback for my team the Blackhawks losing
Go support your Chicago Cubs. Oh right, you want to get away from losing.
Let’s go PREDS!!!
The NY Rangers, my team, are out of it, so I am rooting for anyone BUT the Canucks!!
WHOO! GO CANUCKS!
Um, Michael Buble is a bigger name and a bigger Canuck fan! See Vancouver Sun for a side-by-side comparison of Underwood v. Buble.
Yeah but Corey is on Glee which trumps everything but Twilight.
Or should I clarify, to EW, Glee trumps everything but Twilight.
is carrie even that famous? I know her turn at “acting” flopped, lmao.
Carrie is more famous than you’ll ever be. You sound like one of those fat, ugly jealous Carrie haters that couldn’t get laid in a mens prison.
Hannah:likely the ugliest woman in the world. Carrie is a superstar, there is just no denying that, and if Hannah does, she needs to get a brain. Furthermore, Carrie’s acting was very good in her first time out. Most accurately, she did not “flop”. I loved her in the part. I am willing to bet that Hannah is also a mega loser, and has never risked anything in her life by trying something different.
Steve Nash is a huge Canucks fan, as well.
Cory vs Chord would have made a better story seeing as though Chord is from Nashville.
Even though they’re on the same show, Chord star is not big enough as Carrie Underwood yet.
