I have a question about the 1961 Stanley Cup playoffs. Why did the New York Rangers win the Stanley Cup?

The New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup because they had the best record in the NHL. The Rangers had a record of 111-35-16, which was the best record in the NHL. The Rangers also had the best goal differential in the NHL, which was +125. The Rangers won the Stanley Cup by beating the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Finals.
