'Let Me See Your Phone': A Coaching Lege...

Wondery
About this episode

The NHL season doesn’t begin until next month, but we might have already seen the most bizarre story of the season. Mike Babcock, one of the most accomplished hockey coaches in history, resigned as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets last week, after making his players show him private photos from their phones. Today, we go inside the strange downfall of a coaching legend, try to separate fact from fiction, and explain why, in the end, justice was served.

Guest: Aaron Portzline, The Athletic
