the rest is based on what he didn't say to prove that he thinks the opposite?
I don't follow that logic at all.

Well he mentioned firstly coaching, and then mention another point as top players, ergo, the two things were distinguished. When he mentioned the issues with top players, not once did he associate his problems with special teams.
And a lack of evidence doesn't "prove" a dissatisfaction with coaching, but it is circumstantial. A hockey club has three simple sources of performance: 1) players, 2) coaching, 3) management, so all discussion can be boiled down to these areas. Since Burke has no trouble giving praise, a lack of praise can be clues IMO. It's like if you're boss has been ignoring you for some time and all of a sudden you get laid off. People do give subtle clues in their behavior
