Carrie Underwood is not happy her husband's team lost Tuesday night's NHL game in Florida after a goal was taken away.

The country superstar took to Twitter following the Nashville Predators' defeat to the Florida Panthers, tweeting that NHL officials made a bad call when they decided that Filip Forsberg last-second goal didn't count.

The decision ultimately caused the Panthers to win 2-1.

'I am seriously livid. @NHL, fix this,' Underwood posted.

In another tweet Underwood, who is married to Predators centerman Mike Fisher, said officials taking the goal away was the 'worst call ever'.

'Goaltender interference? Are you out of your mind? On what planet?' she posted.

During the last few seconds of Tuesday's game, Fornsberg scored a goal tying the game 2-2.

However, officials in Toronto's Situation Room - where every goal at every game is reviewed - said the goal was disallowed due to goalie interference. Officials said Predators' Viktor Arvidsson's stick hit Panthers' goalie Roberto Loungo causing him to spin.

As Luongo tried to regain his composure Forsberg came in and scored.

'The deliberate actions of Arvidsson's stick caused Luongo to spin and cause the covered puck to come loose prior to the goal,' a statement from the Situation Room read.

Predators head coach Peter Laviolette told NHL.com that it was a 'tough call' but he '100 per cent' disagrees with the final decision.

'We obviously feel it was (Panthers defenseman Keith) Yandle who caused the goalie to be disrupted. He got on the backside of Arvidsson and moved him, so we 100 per cent disagree with the call.

Forsberg added: 'I don't know what's going on, and it's so inconsistent that we don't even know when it's a goal or not, but it's one that's clearly a goal. The puck is never covered, the goalie had no clue where it is and it ends up on my tape and it's in and they somehow don't think so. I disagree 100 per cent.'

Other celebrities and hockey fans also took to Twitter to express their anger over the controversial decision.

'Dear NHL I love you and I always will but PredsNHL were robbed tonight,' actor Kiefer Sutherland tweeted.

'Hey NHL, those are the kind of calls that cause fans to lose faith in the head office. Always let officials on the ice have final say. That is weak. At least it wasn't an important game #sarcasm,' professional golfer Brandt Snedeker wrote.

The loss prevented the Predators from clinching the Central Division or Western Conference.
