====1971–72: Second and final cup====
Orr signed a new five-year contract on August 26, 1971, for US$200,000 (US${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|200000|1971}}}} in {{Inflation-year|US}} dollars{{inflation-fn|US}}) per season – the NHL's first million dollar contract.{{sfn|Dryden|2000|p=74}} In the following [[1971–72 NHL season|1971–72 season]], Orr was again second in the scoring race to Esposito, this time with 117 points, as his goal total matched his previous years total of 37, but his assists dropped to 80. He again won the Hart and Norris trophies, helping the Bruins to a first-place finish in the East. In the [[1972 Stanley Cup playoffs|1972 playoffs]], Orr again led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup, leading the scoring in the playoffs (24 points with 19 assists) and scoring the championship-winning goal against New York. For his performance in the playoffs, he received his second Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, making him the award's first two-time winner. Rangers forward [[Vic Hadfield]] commented "We played them pretty even, but they had Bobby Orr and we didn't."{{sfn|Dryden|2000|p=74}} By this time, Orr knew his left knee was deteriorating and he would not have many seasons left.{{sfn |Brunt |2006 |p=261}} Orr also won the MVP award at the [[25th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1972 NHL All-Star Game]] to win four MVP awards in one season.{{sfn|Podnieks|2000|p=123}} Since then only [[Nicklas Lidström]] (2002) and [[Cale Makar]] (2022) have won the Norris and Conn Smythe trophies in the same season.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://coloradohockeynow.com/2022/06/27/cale-makar-congratulated-by-bobby-orr/ | title=Bobby Orr Tweets Congrats to Cale Makar | date=June 27, 2022 | access-date=June 27, 2022 | archive-date=June 27, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627172457/https://coloradohockeynow.com/2022/06/27/cale-makar-congratulated-by-bobby-orr/ | url-status=live }}</ref>
