I have watched about a dozen Brown games in the past year, and I can whole
heartedly confirm that Princeton is by far the most clutchy-and-grabby
team that I have seen.  The past four games at Meehan were all deathly
slow, with pushing and pulling and anything else besides playing the
puck.  I can assure you that this does not happen (to that extent at
least) against any other team I've seen.
 
As for Brown taking c+g to an artform, all I can say is that your
information is outdated, at the least.  The graduation of Traggio and
Thompson last year practically cut the grabbing in half.  And your
association of c+g with penalties is frivolous- ECAC refs rarely call
those kinds of penalties, compared with other more physical or
stick-related activities.
