When called up from Rochester for the last game of the season in Detroit, Canadiens had only three regulars, Harvey, Talbot and Turner on defence. Langlois took a regular turn and played so well that Toe Blake had no qualms about starting him in the semi-finals against the Red Wings two nights later.
