<human>:  I have a question about the 1961 Stanley Cup playoffs. Why did the New York Rangers win the Stanley Cup?
<bot>: 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.
