The other thing that gets overlooked is that BU won the consolation game BIG. If they had struggled (against Brown) they most likely wouldn't have gotten a second chance.

Actually the ccha has just started and there WAS a west play in to get their new champ in with the he WCHA runner up.

Yes, the western quarterfinal/play-in game was first played in 1977, so having an eastern quarterfinal/play-in game in 1978 was now an option.

And yes it wasn’t necessarily the 2 finalist, but usually was.

When the ECAC was formed the intent was to hold a tournament so the eastern selection committee didn't have to be in a smoke filled back room picking the teams. The NCAA agreed, but only to the tournament champion being an automatic selection with the committee picking the second team. From 1962 until 1978 the committee selected the third place team over the runner-up three times, as well as selecting the runner-up and third place team once:
1963 - champion Harvard declined to play in the NCAA tournament, so runner-up Boston College and third place winner Clarkson were selected
1964 - third place winner Rensselaer was selected over runner-up St. Lawrence
1966 - third place winner Boston University was selected over runner-up Cornell
1971 - third place winner Boston University was selected over runner-up Clarkson
In 1978 instead of selecting the third place winner Boston University over runner-up Providence the committee mandated a quarterfinal/play-in game, as that was now an option.

And there was NOT an eastern play in game before then.

There were two play-in games in 1960. The eastern committee was not able to determine which teams to select between BU, BC, SLU and Dartmouth, so they mandated that Dartmouth play at BU and BC play at SLU. BU and SLU won their respective games and were selected as the two eastern teams. This was one of the factors that lead to the formation of the ECAC.
