Can someone explain to me what happened here?

I just logged in Live Chess when I saw this game ending. I think white was out of time but the game was a draw.

Why?

White has run out of time and so the game is considered to be a draw. Even if black has a movable pawn, black would have been considered the winner.

In that game, if black had any piece left he would be considered the winner. Since white has so many pieces, there technically is the possibility that white could fall into a helpmate even if black just had a knight or a bishop.
