NEW Y O R K (AP) Maybe there's no such thing as n one-man team in the National Hockey League, but defenseman Bobhy Orr of the Boston Bruins comes closest to il. Just ask the New York Rangers.

“We got another great game out of Orr,” Couch Tom Johnson said in almost routine fashion after the young super star scored two goals and set up the other Sunday as the Bruins defeated the Rangers 3-2 and took a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series for the coveted Stanley Cup.

ALTHOUGH playing with a bad left knee which probably will require post-playoff surgery, Orr appeared at his best, breaking his NHL defenseman's record for the playoffs with his 20th, 21st and 22nd points. He set the old mark of 20 in leading Boston to the Stanley Cup two years ago.

“That first period, Orr ran the w hole show.” New York forward led Irvine said. “Not only did he do everything, but when the other guys on Boston see him play like that it makes them play better. And then they start to go.”

“He doesn't look like he has a bad knee,” Ranger captain Vic Hadfield said. “He's not moving as much, but he still controls the game. He doesn't have to score. He controls the game whether he scores or not.”

ONLY 24 and the N H L ' s most valuable player award winner for three consecutive years, Orr put on a show which left the Rangers, a partisan New York crowd and a national television audience in a state of awe.

Down 2-1 and prompted hy Conch Emile Francis' statement that they had to won the fourth game on home ice in Madison Square Garden, the Rangers were manhandled by the Bruins, who can wrap up the series in Boston Garden Tuesday night.

Orr and Mike Walton, partners in a summer hockey school in Canada, combined on a neat give-and-go play for the first goal at 5:26 of the opening period. Walton threaded a pass to his buddy behind the New York defense, and Orr went in alone to beat Ranger goalie Ed Giacomin with a short flip.

R E F E R E ES Bruce Hood whistled 18 penalties, including 8 majors and one misconduct, for a total of 76 minutes in the first period. However, the Rangers who struck for three power play goals in the first period of the third game in New York Thursday night, were unable to collect.

This time it was the Bruins, who had managed to click on just two of 18 manpower advantages in the first three games.
