There was certainly no shortage of storylines to discuss in CBCSports.ca’s live chat on Day 5.

The men’s and women’s curling tournaments started, highlighted by Canada’s Kevin Martin and Cheryl Bernard.

Toronto native Patrick Chan started his quest to become the first Canadian male singles performer to capture gold as the men’s small program took centre stage.

But there is no doubt that the main event was Canada’s men’s hockey team opening its tournament against Norway with an 8-0 win.

Our team is ready. How about you? Log in and see what the CBC’s Jeff Marek, researcher extraordinaire Natalie Tedesco, and Noah Like of the National Post had to say about a busy night of Olympic action.

As an added bonus, figure-skating coach David Long was on hand to analyze all the action on the men’s side.

Evgeni Plushenko of Russia leads the men’s figure-skating competition after scoring 90.85 in the small program Tuesday night at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

But the top three competitors, who all skated clean programs, are separated by less than one point.

American Evan Lysacek is second with 90.30 points. Daisuke Takahashi of Japan is in the bronze-medal position, at 90.25.

Toronto’s Patrick Chan is in seventh place.

The other Canadian in the field is Calgary’s Vaughn Chipeur, in 24th place.

The free skate is on Thursday at Vancouver’s Pacific Colliseum, the venue for all figure-skating events at the Winter Games.
