Player loses on time yet draw is awarded?

http://en.lichess.org/izEvAEfO

Not the best technique and probably a drawn game but the other player had no time on his clock so I just make any move... his clock runs out and a draw is given or a win? IDK but the result gave rating points to my opponent even though I had time on my clock and he didn't.

Am I missing something?
If your opponent's time runs out and you have insufficient material to mate (typically a bare king or king and knight/bishop), the game is drawn.
