The injury excuse is a bit moot when the NHL holds a similar tourney where players could get injured just as easily. While it's not in the middle of the season like the Olympics, even a summer injury has the potential to have pretty big consequences when it's to one of your stars.
Like most thing, the NHL not wanting to go to the Olympics is primarily a money issue.
