Well the Stanley Cup finals are over and we in Edmonton are
gearing up for the celebration.  Although there is plenty
of talk ragarding the beginnings of an Oilers dynasty, it
is difficult to ignore some of the impending threats that
can cast a dark shadow on future Oilers wins.

Oh, excuse me while I get another beer...

Ahhhhh!

Oh yes, threats.  There are at least two teams in the league
that Edmonton fans have reason to chew nails about.

	1) Philadelphia
	2) Washington
	3) NOT NYI (sorry Rick 8-)

Philadelphia is already a serious threat.  They can only
improve as the young players of the team gather more
experience.  The finals this year reminds me of the Oilers
when they lost to NYI only two short years ago.

As for Washington, they're seasonal record speaks for itself.

All in all, there are more than a few Oilers fans who are
worried about rough roads in the years to come.  But until then:
