"The Potomac, Maryland native was presented the KHL's Top Scorer Award after recording 89 points (32g, 57a) with Dinamo Minsk and tying Nikita Gusev's single-season scoring record originally set in 2023-24 with Dynamo Moscow. "I'm glad I started my summer training because the trophy is a little heavy," Anas said. "But thank you to the KHL, first of all, for hosting this amazing event. First class, as always. Thank you to everyone in Minsk, the fans, management, coaches, teammates. Limo and Pinner wouldn't be here without you guys. So thank you very much. It was a great year with them. And thank you to my beautiful wife, Grace, supporting me all season and everything throughout my career. She's amazing. Thank you, everyone.""
"Anas also earned a share of a second KHL trophy along with two of his other teammates for making up the KHL's Best Trio. Dinamo's top line of Anas, Vitaly Pinchuk, and fellow former Hershey Bears forward Alex Limoges scored 74 goals together in 72 games, setting a new single-season franchise record and leading the league in the category."
""Thank you so much for this [award]," Pinchuk, who signed with the Nashville Predators in April, said per Google Translate. "You said it all perfectly. Without these guys, none of this would have been possible. Thank you to the management, thank you to Dinamo, thank you to the fans, and a huge thank you to everyone. These guys aren't just 'bum-bum' [clueless]; they're real Russians. " He then cracked, "I think I probably should have spoken a bit more while I was up here. Thank you.""
"As the music began playing, Limoges, a native of Winchester, Virginia, walked up to the microphone and greeted the crowd in Russian. "Всем добрый вечер. Спас"
