CARRIE UNDERWOOD GIVES NHL FIANCE'S GIFT ICY RECEPTION

GUYS ARE SO DUMB DEPT.: Lovebirds CARRIE UNDERWOOD and hockey champ fiance MIKE FISHER smiled and held hands as they swept into Ottawa’s Black Cat Bistro – and she couldn’t take her eyes off the big, beautifully wrapped box he was carrying.

As they sat down (just a table away from My Spy), Mike handed it over, crooning: “It’s something special…hope you like it.”

Tearing open the box like a kid on Christmas, Carrie’s kisser froze as she pulled out a pair of pink ice skates and sighed: “Oh, no…Does this mean skating lessons?” Irritated, Mike shoved the box under the table.

MEMO TO MIKE: Dude, don’t be a HOCKEY PUCK! If you were an NFL star, would you give the girl a football? Tip: NEVER bring large gift boxes to a romantic dinner! Only small ones, like…jewelry-size?
