from Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

The Blues’ season has become a juggling act, and keeping even two balls in the air at once is becoming a challenge.

Just when the Blues seem to have sorted out their defensive issues, now it’s their offense that has let them down. So if the good news was that they held Chicago to one goal Wednesday night at United Center, the bad news was that they themselves managed none. The Blues were shut out for the first time this season, falling to the Blackhawks 1-0.

The Blues have scored two goals or fewer in three of their past five games and have lost three of them. You can add to their troubles this season a really bad sense of timing.
