“Rochester was ahead of the curve in the late 1990s and the rest of the country is now there, We have to show that we can play at a high level and excite the crowd as those teams did back in the day.That’s a challenge. The crowd here is somewhat sophisticated and has high standards. They’ve seen a dominant team and that’s what they want to see when they go to the games. It’s our job to try andgive them what they want.”
