Did you know the Stanley Cup has a verified Twitter account? Well, now you do.

The account, which was created in March, posted its first tweets Monday, just two days before the start of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Its bio reads: “If you want me, you’ll have to work for it.”

As of Monday afternoon, the account was following just three accounts—fittingly enough those accounts are the NHL, plus “keepers of the Cup” Philip Pritchard and Mike Bolt.

How the trophy types its tweets despite not having fingers is anybody’s guess, but hockey fans can now look forward to finding out what the Cup is thinking throughout the post-season and beyond.
