It has been a motto of mine my whole life - just be yourself.
Anytime you hear different things - whether it's trade rumors or people saying you're not living up to your complete potential - you're obviously going to get ticked off about that.
It's obviously disappointing and surreal when you see someone else win the Stanley Cup.
I like having those preseason games and exhibitions to really get ready for the regular season and get yourself off to a good start.
A lot of the players that I play with who are Canadian, they call me Patty. Before then, I never heard it. I didn't mind Patty.
I always go home to Buffalo in the offseason. I really enjoy my home town.
