And play Langlois has done for the past three years â€" to the point where he has to be considered one of the finest pivots in the province if not the country. « . He possesses all the skills Guimond had, maybe even a few more, and possibly is more important to the team because Guimond was a star among stars while Langlois stands out among presentâ€" day Warriors. Waterloo coach Bob McKâ€" CWaâ€" illop. despite his obvious fondness for Guimond, has a more immediate interest in his present star, whom he labels as ane of the best players in Canadian univerâ€" sity hockey. ‘‘But they always ignore him when it comes to pickâ€" ing an allâ€"star team" moaned the Waterloo coach. "It‘s an injustice." Langlois more than proved his worth last Thursâ€" day night at the Kitchener Aud as he scored three goals to lead the visiting Warriors to a 4â€"2 victory over Laurier Golden Hawks. The win kept the lastâ€" place Warriors playoff hopes alive but they were dealt a severe blow in a 5â€"4 homeâ€"ice loss to Guelph Friâ€" day Waterloo (4â€"54) must win all three of their remaining games or beat Laurier (7â€"5â€" 2) and one of Western or Guelph while Hawks lose both remaining games in order to qualify for postâ€" season action. ‘I couldn‘t ask for any eaâ€" sier three goals than that." said Langlois amidst his team‘s postâ€"game celebraâ€" tion against the Hawks. That was really a modest summary especially conâ€" sidering his sterling effort on his first goal in the seâ€" cond period. With Hawks leading 2â€"1. Langlois grabbed the puck in the Laurier end with 10 seconds remaining. He sliced across in front of goaâ€" lie A1 Mac Sorley and defenâ€" ceman Brian Crombeen.

It was a fourâ€"point game for both teams as they contiâ€" nue their battle for first place in the sevenâ€"team leaâ€" gue. Lancers remain unâ€" defeated at 6â€"0 while Waâ€" terloo is now 4â€"2.

McKillop, who bemoaned his team‘s illâ€"luck this year. during the second intermisâ€" sion, said Langlois® second goal was the big break his team needed. Complimenting Langlois® superb effort, one of many he has turned in this season. was the play of Warrior goaâ€" lie Rick Nickelchok. **We had to win tonight. we were in dire straits. Now we‘re the master of our own fate." o The former Kingston Canâ€" adian was unconscious in the first period, kicking out 19 of 20 shots as the teams tied 1â€"1.

They were not at all aided by a miserable 34% average from the floor and less than 50% from the free throw line. Windsor from the floor was not much better at 40% but sank 21 of 24 free throws.
