Of course, with Silk Road being one of the main drivers of liquidity in Bitcoins, and one of the main places people spend them, any hit on Silk Road is a hit on Bitcoin, which only makes the cycle spin faster.
Whether these outages mean the end of Silk Road, or are just a huge bump in the road, is anyone's guess, but it's certainly a blow to the website. We'll just have to wait and see what pans out of the next few days.
