"For two reasons," Blake ex plained. "First of all he's big. He can slow down some of those Hawks. Secondly, * he's a good money player. He went extrem- ely well last season in the play- offs against Detroit, so there's no reason why he shouldn't carry on. OTHERS TIRED "A 'couple of my defencemen are tired. Guy Talbot has been seeing a lot of ice and I thought he showed signs of tiredness In the game in Montreal. * Tom Johnson also is tired." | Tired or not, Canadiens took that game 4-2 Thursday night and grabbed a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven semi-final. If a sev- enth and deciding game is neces- sary after tonight it will be played in Montreal Tuesday Blake said he probably would spell Talbot with Langlois who is 24, weighs 198 and stands six feet even.

"Now that this series has en- tered the crucial stage, the pace will be terrific for the three lines we have been using. "So we probably will revert to four lines with Phil Maloney, Dan| Lewicki and Jack McKenzie com- ing in as the fourth unit on a brief shock-troop basis."
