"According to online bookmaker Bovada, Patrick Roy is the favourite to be the new permanent head coach of the Montreal Canadiens.
The Hall of Fame goaltender and current head coach of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Quebec Remparts has 2/1 odds of being the coach of the team next season.
The Canadiens fired Jacques Martin on Saturday and replaced him on an interim basis with Randy Cunneyworth until the end of the season. Cunneyworth is a 15/1 longshot to keep the gig, according to Bovada.
Roy said Sunday he'd listen if the Canadiens wanted to talk about the job. He turned down the Colorado Avalanche coaching job in 2008."
