One other nitpick, hits in one building are just incidental contact in another so comparing teams isn't going to be exact, but a good start and effort.
Just to enforce your previous argument about penalty minutes being indicative of aggressiveness, I've heard this used when evaluating players but it doesn't beat live watching. So you see some player with Lady Byng stats, so you watch to see, does he play like a wimp or is he just smart and skilled so he doesn't need to cheat.
