Michael Bible is having a psychedelic time at the NHL’s All-Star weekend in Toronto.
The “Feeling Good” crooner was just that at the draft portion of the festivities when he revealed how his fantasy hockey skills translated — and gave a little insight into his magical day Thursday.
“I’m in more than one hockey league,” he said. “In the LHL … I happen to be in fifth place. Even though I had no first overall pick, first pick even, I didn’t even have a first-rounder. And I still did what I had to do because of my genius. Second, I am first place in the FHL, [my] other fantasy hockey league.
“Third, my buddy told me: ‘This is just a microdose of mushrooms.’ And he was lying. So, I’ll be honest, I thought I was in ‘Blades of Glory’ for most of the time that I was out there until it sort of settled down. And then I realized, ‘Holy s–t. I am at the NHL All-Star Game.’”
The hallucinogenic episode didn’t seem to cost Buble too much, as he stocked Team Hughes — co-captained by Devils star Jack Hughes and his brother, Canucks defenseman Quinn — with plenty of firepower.
They took lightning scorer Nikita Kucherov with the first-overall pick and added Jack’s teammate Jesper Bratt, along with Quinn’s fellow Vancouverites Elias Peterson, Thatcher Demko, Brock Boeser and J.T Miller.
Still, Buble might not have escaped his mind-altering experience entirely unscathed.
“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,” actor Will Arnett, the celebrity co-captain of Team McDavid, responded. “It all just evaporated. Years of building it up and it’s just gone.”
“The mushroom talk lost me all of my contracts,” Buble told him, with a smile.

The NHL All-Star weekend continues Friday night with the Skills competition, with the four-team, 3-on-3 tournament Saturday.
