As for huge hits, you're moving around at 1/4 speed as you would be on skates.

I can see you feel strongly about your point and that's good, but this just sounds like nonsense.
Based on this reply I actually wanted to check this

This season there has been 10 NLL fights in 56 games, for under 0.2 fights per game. This is down from about 0.6 a decade ago

In the NHL there have been 0.27 fights per game. The NHL peak 87/88 at 1.31. And was about 0.44 per game a decade-ish ago.

So both sports have made strides to eliminate fighting.
