There is no guarantee of Minnesota getting into the tournament.  The ECAC
regular-season and playoff champs get automatic berths and, after that, it's up
to the selection committee.
 
With New Hampshire already in, the decision comes down to Northeastern,
Minnesota, Brown and Dartmouth (unless one of the latter two wins the playoff).
