If you think Hamilton has suddenly become a physical player I can't help you man.
Besides that, hitting totals can communicate all sorts of different things about a team. In some cases they show “physicality,” but most of the time they also indicate that the team is playing without the puck. A lot. So, are Calgary’s hit numbers low because they are “soft”? Or are they low because through four games the Flames have been carrying the puck much more frequently than they have been without it?
