Noel isn't really the type of guy to embellish much. He has tried to build a reputation over his career as a big rugged centerman, so it would kind of go against his persona to be embellish things. That doesn't mean he wont react, if he gets caught in the chin with a stick it's still natural to pull your head back, but he's not going to be pulling the exaggerated head throws or falling to the ice or anything like that just to try and milk a penalty. Yeah, maybe it wins you a powerplay in that situation, but in the long run that kind of stuff can gain you a reputation that he's not interested in having, both with the refs and the other players in the league. And overall it just goes against the spirit of the game in his opinion, so it's not worth it.
