As a regular caller into the Overtime segment, I will admit that it was a small but powerful group of fans who would call in. I don't know how profitable of a segment it was since I assume they were paying several employee's to run it.
That being said, I don't know if canceling it entirely is the best play either. Sure a Monday or Tuesday game vs Columbus doesn't really have a lot to discuss but weekend games or games vs Canadian teams makes sense.
I don't think there is anything wrong with having a segment of 25 games as a season to get the blood boiling on the fan! I know Pat and I think it might have been difficult with the level of hours the guy was doing as well, hopefully he makes the most of it too!
