Sasha Pokulok will let you see glimpses of it. He gives snapshots of his potential on the ice that leave you nearly speechless.

There was the time last season when the South Carolina Stingrays defenseman stepped around two Charlotte forwards at the blue line and roofed a shot over the shoulder of Checkers goalie Chris Holt for a power-play goal.

There was Game 1 against Augusta in the opening round of the 2008 Kelly Cup playoffs when Pokulok went end-to-end, skating through all five Lynx players and eventually getting behind the Augusta net. With a Lynx defense-man draped all over him, Pokulok shrugged him off and found Sean Collins at the Stingrays' blue line with a tape-to-tape pass for an easy goal.
