Hockey math

Puckhound, a Florida-based hockey hound, collected 330 pucks during the 2008-09 campaign. Sadly, he had only 278 cases at season's end. How much will Puckhound spend, at 55 cents a case plus $27.69 in shipping and taxes, to have a case for each autographed puck? As always, show the math.

A.) $56.59
B.) $55.89
C.) $56.29
D.) $56.09

Word Association
San Jose Sharks: Perennial chokers
Vinny Lecavalier: will not be traded for Brisebois and a 6th rounder no matter how much Montreal fans say it will happen
NHL Playoffs: going great until Detroit won
Knee-to-knee hits: most dangerous hit in the game, moreso than shoulder-to-head as those can at least be prevented by the "hittee"
Ruslan Fedotenko: The anti-Shark (see my first word association)

Scramble
Tomas Holmstrom
Nikolai Khabibulin
Corey Perry
Shaone Morrisonn
Dennis Seidenberg

Math
C, $56.29 (only 55 cents? Once I get the rest of my pucks sent up from my mom, I'll need to get myself some of those!)
