It has happened. Normally, one had the top two teams in the pool play each other on NYE. And when USA + CAN are in the same pool, that would normally mean a NYE showdown btwn the 2 arch rivals. But one year, we were slated to play SVK, even though Yanks were in our pool. They DID change the schedule to accommodate HC, their fans, advertisers, yadda, yadda...
I may have misread the post, and thought it was about Canada and the US not playing each other at all, but then the IIHF stepped in to change that.
