Time and place. If you want to do that in the offseason, or the next road trip, fine. Just don't actively undermine the good that's being done and / or celebrated on that particular night by making yourself the focus of all the media questions and all the articles and all the discussions. I mean I wish I could prevent the media from writing these boring, same-####-different-day stories but they know what will get them clicks and they're simply going to do it, and those media outlets are outside of anyone's control so it's on the team to control what they can control and draw the line where they can draw it.
If there's one thing hockey players are known for it's not putting themselves before the team... except, apparently, in this one narrow circumstance.
