1980 Olympic hockey team video

Is it possible to purchase to actual footage of the real game? I own the DVD's of actors playing the roles (miracle) and it is entertaining but I would like to see the real game(s) again. I remember it vividly in 1980 and would like to watch the entire game again. Does anyone know where this can be bought? I can't believe the network has not put together a DVD of all the 1980 hockey games.
I was up in lake placid at the ice rink and even they didn't sell it.

Just google it, the whole USA series for 1980:

1980 USA Olympic Hockey - USSR, Finland + more - 7 DVDS for sale

When the movie Miracle came out, I was a den leader for my son's Cub Scout den. We decided as a field trip we would take them to see the movie. It was cool watching there faces glued to the screen while they were doing the Russian game scenes....and when the US won they all jumped up in the theater and started cheering and giving High-Fives....like it was the real deal...Pretty cool

I ordered that dvd set. It is clearly a bootleg of some kind...but it is like a time machine!! I love it. What a game and I love the commercials too.

I think the guy had access to the ABC tapes of the game and duped it. It does not seem like a VCR copy but it is a little grainy.

What a moment in sports history!

I recall watching it live but to see the footage again with Jim McCay when he had hair and the commentary was great!

One bizarre side note...when you watch it, you can't help notice how thin everyone is, people in the crowd, walking in the streets, there are very few people overweight. Today if you look at a B's game crowd, everyone is overweight.

Glad to see the link worked for you! Never know about some of those net offers.
