Sitting beside Thomas Chabot in the locker room comes with a lot of benefits for a young defenceman like Jordan Spence, but one of the downsides occurs when a throng of media enters the room after a practice and forces Spence to get undressed elsewhere.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Spence ended up across the room in Warren Foegele\u2019s stall, as his old teammate from Los Angeles remained out on the ice working on some skills after the practice had ended. He fielded questions there from a much smaller media contingent than the one that surrounded Chabot.<\/p>\n
As he spoke about his career season, the emotions from the team clinching a playoff berth on Saturday, and the excitement towards playing playoff games in a Canadian market, he was briefly interrupted by Nick Cousins.<\/p>\n
\u201cAttaboy Spenny!\u201d chimed in Cousins as he walked past, trying to break a straight-faced Spence.<\/p>\n
A few minutes into the conversation, Shane Pinto entered the room and seemed perturbed that he had a new stallmate.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t sit here,\u201d said Pinto, deadpanning, failing to get a reaction out of Spence. \u201cWhy are you sitting here?\u201d he continued, which finally made Spence crack a smile and tell him to stop.<\/p>\n
It was a series of interactions that underscored the \u201c25 best friends<\/a>\u201d mantra in the Sens\u2019 dressing room \u2014 and far from the first time this year that someone\u2019s media availability had been interrupted by some non-media members.<\/p>\n
