Rangers have Zibanejad and Fox both killing penalties in a 6-0 game. I know there's still nearly two full periods to go, but you'd think soon they could scale back on the minutes (especially hard minutes like these) for some of their top players given the circumstances. #NYR

Last word on this: If you don’t care about what the players have to say, power to you. I’m not saying you should. Scroll on, my friends. My tweet was intended for the readers who do care and do want to hear from these guys. That’s who I’m addressing.
To add to this: It's not only goalies. For some reason, we've been walking into empty locker rooms recently. Requests for multiple players are either being met w/ "unavailable" or flat-out nos. Practice day availabilities have been great, but postgame accountability is lacking.

$33k penalty for “Failure to register” perhaps light to colleagues south of the 🇨🇦 border... still, IMO, this is an important step in addressing the risk that comes from businesses that don’t follow local laws, likely to snag some bad actors. fintrac-canafe.canada.ca/new…

Yes, Canada should adopt IBAN. Missed opportunity not to introduce it when Lynx was launched. #payments #routing #errors #fatfingers #modernization #canada Article in comments 👇🏼
Pan-European low-value instant payments expand further with last set of participants migrating to TIPS (Target Instant Payment Settlement). One step closer to every EU accountholder being able to send and receive instant payments across the EU. #paymentlnkd.in/dKJVT6XG

A little bit of a surprise (ok maybe not to Paul Rogers), it seems that Apple's Tap to Pay (aka SoftPOS) is Acquirer agnostic. Apple's isn't part of the acquiring supply chain the way they are for App Store content. You could say they focused on their c…lnkd.in/dsy-fcrQ

Odd in light of ApplePay Later rumours...possibly down to GS having very limited banking/lending activities in Canada and time to market lnkd.in/eTdF28SN
Wise IPO slated for 7 July. If the valuation is even at the "top end" of the reported $6-12 billion, I expect the IPO to perform well, because some of its less mature peers have higher VC-driven valuations Linkt to article in comments below 👇🏻 #IPO #…lnkd.in/dkEtdm5

Google Shopify partnership to feature Shopify merchants more prominently (and maybe automagically) in Search. Makes you think about the combination of those two against Amazon (!) #payments #commerce #search @Google @Shopfiy lnkd.in/da_vBi6
DailyPay raises $500 million in equity and debt financing to help rapidly grow “on demand pay” (in essence, payroll advance) #payments #credit #lending #fintech #financing lnkd.in/dyp-CRD
Don’t really agree that FCA is wrong in highlighting that some EMI’s marketing themselves as “banking”. Whether writing a distinct email to every customer adds value is a question, but small downside #FCA #regulation #Emoney #banking #payments #fintech lnkd.in/dtKnGrv
