Last season, Bruins fans may have found themselves disappointed in Carl Söderberg for his lack of impact on the team, but I don't think that's quite fair for the "One-Eyed Swede."
As we all know, joining an already put together and functioning team near the end of a season is a difficult task, but joining a team near the end of a season and coming from a European league is nearly impossible.
As any true hockey fan knows, there are major differences between the European and North American styles of hockey. It's safe to say Söderberg didn't have it so easy last season, but this season should be different. He's had some time now to get used to the Bruins and their system and is familiarized with North American hockey. As one of the best players in the Swedish Elite League, he should supply the B's with some offensive spark. It seems like he already has.
