Michael Bublé Had The Most Unhinged NHL All-Star Appearance & Blamed It On Shrooms (VIDEO)

"Holy sh*t, I'm at the NHL All-Star game!"

Justin Bieber might've ducked the media after the NHL All-Star Game draft on Thursday in Toronto, but fellow celebrity captain Michael Bublé more than made up for it.

The Vancouver crooner shouted out his favourite reporter, launched into a tirade about his fantasy hockey league and then paused midway through to explain his utterly unhinged behaviour.

The reason? Mushrooms.

"My buddy told me this is just a microdose of mushrooms," Bublé said. "And he was lying!"

Narcity was at the news conference and while reporters typically try to stay quiet during such events, several people couldn't help but laugh.

"I thought I was in Blades Of Glory for most of the time that I was out there until I sort of settled down," he added. "And then I realized 'Holy sh*t, I'm at the NHL All-Star Game!"

Michael Bublé was totally unhinged in the best way at #nhlallstar #michaelbublé #willarnett #nhl #shroooms #mushrooms @Michael Bublé

Bublé served as a celebrity team captain at the All-Star Draft alongside fellow Canadians Tate McRae, Justin Bieber and Will Arnett. The four of them took turns choosing NHL players for a tournament that will play out on Saturday.

Arnett joined Bublé for the post-draft press conference, and he did not hold back after the shrooms comment.

"You know, it just occurs to me that through all the incredible songs that you've done over the years, and all the hearts of women that you won over around the world, with all that talk about fantasy hockey, you lost them all in one sentence," said Arnett. "It all just evaporated. Years of building it up, and it's just gone."

"The mushroom talk lost me all of my contracts," Bublé added.

"The mushroom talk definitely lost you a lot of income!" said Arnett.

Arnett, Bublé, Bieber and McRae are expected to stick around Toronto for the rest of NHL All-Star Weekend, which includes a skills competition on Friday and the actual NHL All-Star Game on Saturday afternoon. There are also plenty of events going on around Scotiabank Arena and downtown Toronto where you can test your hockey skills and even meet some of your favourite NHL players.

You might even bump into a celeb like Bublé, although if you do, spare yourself and don't ask about his fantasy hockey team.
