Fridcave Mav 12. 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 1 I IJj y/ IT4uY a Bruins Stanley NEW YORK (A) - Sensational Bobby Orr scored one goal and assisted on another as the Bos- ton Bruins rode the shutout goal tending of Gerry Cheevers to a 3-0 victory over New York last night, clinching their second Stanley Cup in the last three seasons. Orr, who led all scorers in the playoffs National Hockey League with 24 points, connected on a power-play goal midway through the first period and the Bruins protected the lead until Wayne Cashman tapped Orrs slapshot into the net for the first of his Stwo, third-period goals. The opening 10 minutes of the E game were played much like a heavyweight championship fight with the two teams feeling each other out cautiously. When Walt Tkaczuk drew a penalty at 10:25, the Bruins sent out their power-play unit. New York's Bruce McGregor narrow- ly missed clearing the puck over the Ranger blue line as Orr stopped him. The Boston defenseman side- stepped McGregor and let fly with a shot that zipped past Ranger goalie Gilles Villemuie. The Bruins protected the 1-0 lead tenaciously through the scoreless second period and even went 48 seconds with two men in the penalty box. The Rangers buzzed furiously around Cheevers but were unable to finish off their plays. As the third period began, New York had two excellent op- portunities but Cheevers gloved Pete Stemkowski's slapshot and moments later Vic Hadfield's rebaund attempt rolled harm- lessly past the corner of the Boston net. Ranger defenseman Dale Rolfe went off for holding at 3:20 and with only 10 seconds left in his penalty Orr and the Bruins struck again. Phil Esposito won a faceoff from Tkaczuk in the Ranger end, getting the puck to Orr. Bobby took two steps in and fired with Cashman tipping it into the net. As the clock ticked off the fi- nal minutes, the Rangers tried desperately to beat Cheevers but instead it was the Bruins who scored. Cashman jammed a short shot past Villemure with only 1:49 to play, sealing the Rang- ers' fate. As the final buzzer sounded Orr and the rest of the Bruins mobbed Cheevers and the Stan- ley Cup was wheeled to center ice. As the two teams lined up for the traditional post-series hand- shakes, NHL President Clarence Campbell made formal presenta- tion of the treasured Cup to veteran Bruins' left winger Johnny Bucyk. clinch Cup **ag Cheever who had heen straf- - .xss ed for 10 goals in his first two e se-:A'-s~ .~~- Cup appearances against New ~ ,..4 York, did a happy jig as Bucyk -sV..
