Earlier this year, Joe Thornton was somehow snubbed from the NHL's 100 greatest players list.

Thornton's more than deserving of a spot on the list and at the age of 38, he's still producing for the San Jose Sharks.  Next season, Jumbo Joe will be back in San Jose as he signed a one-year-deal with the Sharks less than a week ago.

 

The picture of Thornton will go down as one of the greatest of all-time due to the fact that he took a break from mowing his lawn to sign the deal.

Thursday, the Florida Panthers re-signed 25-year-old Mark Pysyk to a three year deal and he did his best to recreate Jumbo Joe's picture.

Clearly Pysyk is a fan of Thornton and they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

They also say Twitter is a great place to make fun of your teammates and Jason Demers and Alexander Petrovic responded with fire.

Pysyk's gotta ask Joe some questions about maintaing a lawn and more people need to sign their contracts in creative ways.
