“I’ve got to look good.”Finland's Don Cherry: Juhani "Tami" Tamminen pic.twitter.com/JDXXPsHE34 — Jari Lehto (@TheFatavius) May 5, 2016Like the real Don Cherry, who was the inspiration behind Tamminen’s wild wardrobe and even crazier commentary, Tamminen doesn’t really care what you think. “It’s the gold-medal game,” broadcaster Juhani Tamminen said prior to the final between Canada and Finland. “I’m called Don Tami and it’s my trademark,” he said. I was a star before she came along and now she’s the star.”As for Cherry, Tamminen said the two have never spoken. MOSCOW — The man who is called the Finnish Don Cherry is wearing what he calls his “championship final” outfit: cream-coloured dress shirt, silver tie and a bright white blazer that’s been covered in large, sparkling, Swarovski-style crystals.
