I'd even point to how many people know that he was dazed. Not just people speculating, but people that can unequivocally tell that he was dazed. Which of course, means that the trainers, concussion spotters, coaches etc all missed it.

No one should 'know' anything - on either side of this.
However, we do have the benefit of looking at video. THere is some fairly substantive evidence to suggest that he was dazed, including a lump and cut on his eye.
Conversely, the trainers did not have a video. The hit happened in the corner, and then he skated along the boards, while the play was already up ice. There is a good chance that no one on the bench saw
anything. So when they asked him how he was, they would have only had his word to go on.
