Editor’s Note: Sheng Peng will be a regular contributor to NBC Sports California’s Sharks coverage. You can read more of his coverage on San Jose Hockey Now, listen to him on the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast, and follow him on Twitter at @Sheng_Peng.
The San Jose Sharks are not in a good place right now, and I’m not talking about their record.

Before last night, you could talk about the chaos of traveling to Europe, the Sharks deserving points in the Prague rubber match, how good the Cup-contending Hurricanes are – there are no such excuses with the rebuilding Blackhawks
